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

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widely prevalent disease with significant mortality and disability rates and has become the third leading cause of death globally. Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) often substantially suffer deterioration and death. Therefore, COPD patients deserve special consideration regarding treatment in this fragile population for pre-clinical health management. Based on the above, this paper proposes an AECOPD prediction model based on the Auto-Metric Graph Neural Network (AMGNN) using inspiratory and expiratory chest low-dose CT images. This study was approved by the ethics committee in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Subsequently, 202 COPD patients with inspiratory and expiratory chest CT Images and their annual number of AECOPD were collected after the exclusion. First, the inspiratory and expiratory lung parenchyma images of the 202 COPD patients are extracted using a trained ResU-Net. Then, inspiratory and expiratory lung
