Factors Influencing Disease Perception Among Elderly Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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: Community-based management improve chronic disease outcomes, but their impact on disease perception and frailty in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients remains underexplored. Objective: To identify factors influencing disease perception in elderly COPD patients and assess the role of community-based management. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 223 COPD patients aged ≥60 years (diagnosed per the 2021 Results: Mean BIPQ score was 46.87±7.47 (moderate threat perception), and frailty score was 8.02±2.38. Disease perception positively correlated with total frailty and its subdomains (P<0.05). Community-managed patients had significantly lower BIPQ and TFI scores (P<0.05). Regression revealed disease duration (β=0.28), dyspnoea severity (β=0.22), and frailty (β=0.19) as positive predictors of disease perception; community management (β=-0.15) and older age (β=-0.12) were negative predictors (P<0.05). The model explained 46.0% of variance (R Conclusion: Elderly patients with COPD demonstrated strong links between disease perception and frailty. Community-based management considerably reduced these scores, indicating its potential to improve patient outcomes.
