Real-World Outcomes in Patients with COPD Initiating Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate After Dual and Triple Therapy in Spain: A Sub-Study of the ORESTES Study.
Article in Pulmonary therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
introductionChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT), such as budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate dihydrate (BGF), is recommended for patients with COPD who are not adequately controlled by dual therapy (DT). Escalation from DT or switching from triple therapy (TT)-SITT or multiple-inhaler TT (MITT)-are key real-world treatment pathways.
methodsThe observational, retrospective, multicenter ORESTES study included adults (≥ 40 years) with COPD initiating BGF in routine clinical practice. This secondary analysis focuses on the following treatment pathways: escalation from DT and switch from TT. Patients' characteristics, exacerbations, additional COPD treatments, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) were assessed.
resultsA total of 295 patients escalated from DT and 356 switched from TT (SITT: 147; MITT: 209) to BGF. 66.8% of patients escalating from DT and 78.5% switching from TT showed a high-risk GesEPOC phenotype; 77.9% and 80.0% had mMRC grade ≥ 2, and 91.2% and 96.1% had ≥ 3 comorbidities. Following BGF initiation, the annualized exacerbation rate decreased by 11.6% (from 1.06 to 0.94) in patients escalating from DT and by 15.5% (from 1.60 to 1.35) in patients switching from TT (after SITT: 17.8% reduction; after MITT: 14.1%). Rescue medication use declined overall, and specifically short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) use declined by 23.2% and 19.4% (SITT: 21.9%; MITT: 18.4%). Emergency room visits and hospitalizations decreased by 19.7% and 19.0% in patients escalating from DT, and by 29.4% and 25.5% among those switching from TT (SITT: 25.0%/18.3%; MITT: 32.4%/29.9%).
conclusionsIn this real-world Spanish cohort of patients with COPD not adequately controlled with DT or TT, reductions in exacerbations, rescue medication use, and HCRU were observed after BGF initiation, supporting the potential value of earlier introduction of BGF in patients with persistent symptoms and/or frequent exacerbations despite high-intensity therapy.
