Prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a hospitalized lung cancer population: a single center study.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often coexists with lung cancer (LC) and has a detrimental effect on the prognosis of LC patients. Presently, there is a lack of adequate assessment regarding the management of COPD in LC patients. This study assessed the screening, prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of COPD in hospitalized LC patients and compared the management practices between two departments at our hospital. Methods: We retrospectively assessed the data of 3,578 patients diagnosed with primary LC in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and the Department of Thoracic Surgery from January 2019 to December 2020. We also compared the rate of spirometry, COPD diagnosis and COPD inhalation treatment between the LC patients from both departments, the proportion of patients aware of their COPD diagnosis and adhered to inhaled therapy, and analyzed factors influencing COPD diagnosis and inhalation treatment. Results: A total of 2,762 (77.2%) LC patients underwent spirometry, and the observed spirometry-defined COPD prevalence was 25.0% (690/2,762). The proportion of spirometry performed in the Department of Thoracic Surgery was significantly higher than in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (90.5% Conclusions: This study showed that COPD could be a frequently undiagnosed and undertreated condition among LC patients, especially those hospitalized in a surgical ward. Additionally, a discharge diagnosis of COPD may increase the rate of inhalation treatment and awareness of the condition in LC patients.
