*The absolute risk (and its 95% CI) of LAMA+LABA group is based on the assumed risk in the LABA+ICS group and the OR of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence interval; COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; ICS: inhaled corticosteroid; LABA: long‐acting beta‐agonist; LAMA: long‐acting muscarinic antagonist; MCID: minimal clinically important difference; MD: mean difference; OR: odds ratio; RCT: randomised controlled trial; SGRQ: St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence

High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of effect.
Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of effect but may be substantially different.
Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of effect.
Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

aThere was a considerable heterogeneity, I2 > 50%.
bStudies varied in their inclusion criteria around recent history of exacerbation, baseline percentage predicted FEV1 and exclusion of asthma. No indirectness downgrades, but impacts interpretation and applicability of results (see Discussion).
cConfidence interval includes benefit of either treatment but lies within predefined threshold for clinical importance (0.7 to 1.5 for OR outcomes; 4‐point MCID for SGRQ) ‐ no downgrade for imprecision
dNo downgrades for publication bias. Funnel plots examined for primary outcomes (exacerbations, serious adverse events, SGRQ, FEV1) do not show obvious asymmetry (see Figure 3; Figure 3; Figure 4; Figure 6). Nearly all studies included in pneumonia and all‐cause death analyses. Only 4 studies included in SGRQ 4+ change analysis but not specified in most studies.
eNo downgrades for risk of bias. Across outcomes, all or almost all studies were at high risk of 'other' bias due to conflicts of interest, and studies contributing between 18.5% and 35.9% of the analysis weight were rated high risk of bias in at least one other domain. We did not prespecify a threshold or specific domains for downgrading, but considered it insufficient to downgrade if studies contributing more than half the analysis weight were at low or unclear risk of bias in all but the 'other' domain.
fThere was imprecision due to a low number of events.
