1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionDiagnosis and treatment decisions for many respiratory diseases are based on spirometric values. We compared the impact of changing the reference equations from GLI-2012 (race-specific) to GLI-2022 (race-neutral) in a predominantly Caucasian urban population.

methodsPneumoLaus is a sub-study of CoLaus|PsyCoLaus, an ongoing prospective observational study conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. Participants performed spirometry at baseline (2014-2017) and at follow-up (2018-2021, FU). We analysed changes of %predicted values (PV) for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV

resultsA total of 3,330 participants were included at baseline and 2,005 at FU, >97% Caucasian. Employing GLI-2022 equations, the %PV and z score increased significantly for both FEV

conclusionIn this predominantly Caucasian urban population-based cohort, applying GLI-2022 equations led to a general FEV
