Differences between protocol and review

We added the comparison between published and unpublished results when we discovered the large number of unpublished studies, but before we extracted the data from the studies and carried out the analysis.

We have excluded cross‐over trials as carry‐over effects and disease progression cannot be adequately controlled for in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

In the control group 33 people out of 100 had an exacerbation of COPD over 6‐52 weeks, compared to 28 (95% CI 27 to 29) out of 100 for the active treatment group.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FDA: Food and Drug Administration (USA); FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; OR: odds ratio; SGRQ: St George's Respiratory Questionnaire

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1There was a greater proportion of participant withdrawals in the treatment (24%) compared with the control group (19%), but not sufficient to warrant downgrading the quality of evidence.
2There was moderate heterogeneity between the studies (I2 = 30% to 50%).
3There was a statistically significant difference between published and unpublished studies.
4There was high level of heterogeneity between study results (I2 > 50%).
5Based on data from the combined COPD safety pool. Individual study data not obtained.

6There were very few events, leading to wide confidence intervals.
