The impact of social and psychological support on patients with varying degrees of severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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: To investigate the effects of social support and psychological interventions on COPD patients across varying severity levels. Methods: This prospective, randomized controlled study included 172 COPD patients from two hospitals between January 2021 and June 2024. Finally, 132 participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: No significant baseline differences were observed. After 12 months, the intervention group showed significant improvements in SGRQ, HADS, and MRC scores ( Conclusion: Structured social and psychological interventions significantly improve quality of life, mental health, exercise capacity, and pulmonary function in mild to moderate COPD patients, but with limited effects on severe and very severe patients.
