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

Background: Considerable heterogeneity exists in patients experiencing acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) concerning etiology, clinical manifestations, phenotypic features, comorbidities, and treatment responsiveness. The concept of "treatable traits" is adapted to evaluate the clinical features of patients with chronic airway diseases from multiple dimensions and ultimately guiding precision treatment strategies. This prospective randomized controlled study mainly aims to evaluate the impact of accurate identification and intervention strategies guided by "treatable traits" on the prognosis of AECOPD patients. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study will be performed in 6 centers in China, with a planned enrollment of 314 AECOPD participants. 314 participants will be randomly assigned to either the precision intervention group or the control group with a ratio of 1:1. During admission, participants in the precision intervention group will receive accurate identification and intervention based on "treatable traits", while patients in the control group receive conventional medical treatment as usual. Patients will be followed up at 6 and 12 months after discharge. Primary outcomes of the study include the incidence of total acute exacerbations and hospitalizations due to acute exacerbations during follow-up. Secondary outcomes involve changes in CAT scores and mMRC classification, and the occurrence of death during follow-up. Discussion: By employing standardized, multi-dimensional baseline and follow-up assessments, the study seeks to develop a comprehensive framework of treatable traits encompassing pulmonary, extrapulmonary, and socio-behavioral domains for AECOPD. It will further evaluate the prognostic impact of precision interventions tailored to these treatable traits in AECOPD patients for the first time.
