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

backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are two major age-related diseases prevalent in the elderly. However, it is unclear whether there is a higher prevalence of one or more CVDs in COPD patients compared to those without COPD, and the magnitude of this increased prevalence.

methodsThis population-based cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2018 among American adults aged 40 years and above. Multivariable logistic regression models (including unadjusted model, minimally adjusted model, and fully adjusted model) were conducted to investigate the association between COPD and the prevalence of one or more CVDs, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, angina pectoris, heart attack, diabetes, and stroke.

resultsThis study included 11,425 participants, consisting of 661 participants with COPD and 10,764 participants without COPD. COPD patients had a significantly higher prevalence of CVD than those without COPD (59.6% vs. 28.4%). After adjusting for covariates, COPD was significantly associated with the prevalence of one CVD (OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.6-3.0, p < 0.001), two or more CVDs (OR = 3.3, 95% CI = 2.2-5.0, p < 0.001), and three or more CVDs (OR = 4.3, 95% CI = 2.9-6.5, p < 0.001).

conclusionsPatients with COPD have a higher prevalence of one or more CVDs compared with those without COPD. Our findings highlight the importance of CVD prevention and management in patients with COPD.
