COPD after "Tabouna" Exposure: A Distinct Phenotype in Tunisian Women?
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCOPD due to exposure to combustible biomass is an increasingly recognized phenotype, particularly among women who use traditional ovens, known as 'Tabouna', for baking bread. This paper aims to investigate the clinical and functional characteristics of COPD in Tunisian female patients attributed to the use of 'Tabouna'.
methodsA retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on patients recruited from the Department of Respiratory Disease at A. Mami Hospital, who were diagnosed with COPD between January 2014 and December 2022. The diagnosis of COPD adhered to the standards defined in GOLD 2022.
resultsOut of the 95 women included in the study, 48 (50.5%) were exposed to tobacco smoke, while 47 (49.5%) were exposed to the 'Tabouna'. The median age was 70.4 ± 11.5 years, ranging from 40 to 95 years. Patients exposed to biomass were notably older, with a median age of 75.4 compared to 64.6 (
conclusionsCOPD in women after exposure to the 'Tabouna' was observed in older patients and characterized by delayed diagnosis. Despite these clinical differences, poor COPD outcomes were similar in both groups.
