1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: The natural course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by symptom exacerbation and quality-of-life reduction. Therefore, symptoms should be properly assessed. Some studies have demonstrated a weak correlation between cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters and symptoms in patients with COPD; however, data on Asian patients are lacking. We investigated the value of CPET parameters in assessing symptoms and quality of life in Asian patients with COPD. Methods: Of 681 patients who underwent CPET at Asan Medical Center between January 2020 and June 2022, we analyzed 195 patients with COPD in this retrospective study. A cycle ergometer was used for the incremental protocol. The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) were administered to assess the patients' symptoms. Results: The mMRC grade was related to maximal oxygen uptake (VO Conclusions: VO
