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: Vascular dysfunction has been described as worsening in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but there is a lack of knowledge regarding severe patients. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate it in COPD with Chronic Respiratory Failure (CRF) versus COPD and controls. Methods: A baseline screening was performed, including a health history, a physical examination, and an anthropometric assessment. All subjects underwent an arterial blood gas analysis, spirometry, a 6-min walking test, and a thigh muscle volume assessment. The vascular function was determined via single Passive Leg Movement (sPLM) on the dominant leg. Results: Fifteen patients with moderate COPD (FEV Conclusion: These data provide evidence of an intrinsic vascular dysfunction during the progression of COPD, which depends only partially on locomotor muscle volume loss observed in this clinical population.
