Impulse oscillometry-derived equation for prediction of abnormal FEV
Article in The Lancet regional health. Western Pacific, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is based on spirometry that requires a forced expiratory manoeuvre, which is laborious and difficult for mass screening. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is easier than spirometry and performed with tidal breathing. We sought to develop an equation for predicting forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV Methods: Data from patients who simultaneously underwent spirometry and IOS were obtained from databases at five tertiary hospitals in China. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to develop a predictive model for pre-bronchodilator (BD) FEV Findings: Using 15,113 patients and externally validated with 9586 patients, the model estimated FEV Interpretation: This equation could be useful to screen for COPD particularly in community and primary care settings.
