Glucocorticoid Use in Patients Hospitalized with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective of the Study: Systemic glucocorticoid therapy can improve the outcomes of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). The study tried to investigate the use of glucocorticoids in AECOPD patients and the factors associated with the physicians' choice. Methodology: Patients with AECOPD over two periods were divided by the year of 2017 when GOLD and ERS/ATS Guideline for COPD were updated. Data of patients regarding the study was retrieved from medical records. Descriptive statistical analysis was used for the illustration of glucocorticoids use, and hypothesis testing for comparison over the periods. Results: Between 2010 and 2016, the proportion of ICS use was 522/640 (81.6%) and 341/452 (75.4%) between 2017 and 2020. COPD severity (GOLD C/D classification), bronchial asthma, percentage of neutrophils, and higher PaCO Conclusion: The optimized use of glucocorticoids was found after the publishment of 2017 ERS/ATS Guideline for COPD, this improvement was associated with a decreased 1-year recurrence rate among AECOPD patients at our institution, underscoring the positive impact of guideline updates on patient outcomes.
