Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 Infection among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Findings from the Philippine CORONA Study.
Article in Clinics and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe global pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulted in many deaths from fulminant respiratory failure. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. There has been great concern regarding the impact of COPD on the COVID-19 illness.
methodsData from the Philippine CORONA study were analyzed to determine the association of COPD and COVID-19 in terms of mortality, disease severity, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, and lengths of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital.
resultsA total of 10,881 patients were included in this study, and 156 (1.4%) patients had been diagnosed with COPD. A majority of COVID-19 patients with COPD had other existing comorbidities: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic cardiac disease, and chronic kidney disease. COPD patients were 2.0× more likely to present with severe to critical COVID-19 disease. COVID-19 patients with COPD in our study have a 1.7× increased mortality, 1.6× increased respiratory failure, and 2.0× increased risk for ICU admission. Smokers with COVID-19 were 1.8× more likely to present with more severe disease and have a 1.9× increased mortality.
conclusionOur study supports the growing evidence that COPD among COVID-19 patients is a risk factor for higher mortality, more severe form of COVID-19, higher ICU admission, and higher respiratory failure needing ventilatory support.
