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: To explore the clinical effect of various doses of Budesonide combined with Tiotropium bromide in the treatment of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Clinical data of elderly patients with COPD, admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University from April 2021 to February 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the dosage of Budesonide combined with Tiotropium bromide, patients were divided into Low-dose group (Budesonide = 1mg), Medium-dose group (Budesonide = 2mg), and High-dose group (Budesonide = 3mg). All groups were matched for age, gender, course of disease, and BMI. Patients treated with Tiotropium bromide alone were assigned to the Control group. The clinical effect, pulmonary function index level, symptom improvement, inflammatory factor index level and adverse reactions in all groups were analyzed and compared. Results: A total of 88 patients were included in this study with 22 patients in each group. The total efficacy of Medium-dose (90.91%) and High-dose group (90.91%) was significantly higher than that of Low-dose group (63.64%) and the Control group (59.09%) ( Conclusions: Budesonide combined with tiotropium bromide is better than tiotropium bromide alone in the treatment of elderly patients with COPD. Compared with low (1mg) dosage, medium (2mg) and high (3mg) dosage of budesonide are more effective in improving lung function, alleviating symptoms, reducing inflammatory response,, and are not associated with increased rate of adverse reactions.
