Prevalence and Associated Factors of COPD Awareness and Screening Intention among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in China.
Article in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has recently been incorporated into the National Basic Public Health Service Program because of its high prevalence and substantial mortality burden among elderly Chinese individuals. However, little is known about COPD awareness, screening intention, and their associated factors. Methods: Between September 2024 and February 2025, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted among community-dwelling older adults in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, China, to collect data on potential influencing factors, COPD awareness, and screening intention. We identified factors associated with COPD awareness and screening intention using univariable binary logistic regression analyses. Results: Among the 574 participants, 116 (20.21%) had heard of COPD and 412 (71.78%) expressed willingness to undergo screening. Higher education ( Conclusion: This study provides up-to-date evidence that Chinese elderly have low COPD awareness but a relatively high screening intention, and identifies socio-demographic characteristics, physical health, and healthcare utilization as important associated factors, with public health implications for guiding community-based health education and improving early detection strategies.
