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

Purpose: Identifying prognosis for patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is challenging. Eosinophils and platelet are involved in the development of COPD, which may predict adverse events. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the eosinophil to platelet ratio (EPR) in predicting adverse events in patients with AECOPD who visited the emergency department. Patients and Methods: The records of patients with AECOPD treated at Dalian Municipal Friendship Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The relationship between the clinical characteristics and EPR, as cut-off value of 0.755, was evaluated. Results: A total of 508 patients with an AECOPD (316 male, 192 female) were included. An optimal AUC cutoff of 0.755 for the EPR segregated the patients into 2 groups with significantly different mortality (25.3% vs 5.5%, Conclusion: During severe COPD exacerbation, an EPR < 0.755 preceding therapy can predict worse outcomes in patients with an AECOPD.
