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: Recent consensus guidelines endorsed using a Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI Global) race-neutral approach to interpret spirometry. This study aims to examine how spirometry results using GLI Global reference equations correlate with patient healthcare utilisation and outcomes in a real-world cohort of patients. Methods: Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were analysed Results: Out of the total cohort of 6107 tests, 530 (9%) and 595 (10%) results were re-classified when switching from race-specific to race-neutral for FEV Conclusions: We conclude that both Black and White individuals whose FEV
