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

backgroundDespite the fundamental progress in hematopoietic stem cell transplant, this treatment is also associated with complications. Graft-versus-host disease is a possible complication of HSCT. Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the pulmonary form of this syndrome. Due to the high morbidity and mortality rate of BOS, various studies have been conducted in the field of drug therapy for this syndrome, although no standard treatment has yet been proposed. According to the hypotheses about the similarities between BOS and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the idea of using tiotropium bromide as a bronchodilator has been proposed. METHOD/

designA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and crossover clinical trial is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of tiotropium in patients with BOS. A total of 20 patients with BOS were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive a once-daily inhaled capsule of either tiotropium bromide (KP-Tiova Rotacaps 18 mcg, Cipla, India) or placebo for 1 month. Patients will receive tiotropium bromide or placebo Revolizer added to usual standard care. Measurements will include spirometry and a 6-min walking test. ETHICS/DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committees of Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Science. Recruitment started in September 2022, with 20 patients randomized. The treatment follow-up of participants with tiotropium is currently ongoing and is due to finish in April 2024. The authors will disseminate the findings in peer-reviewed publications, conferences, and seminar presentations.
