Why a human might miss it
COPD is framed in most public coverage as a lung disease. The Compass page surfaces the psychiatric comorbidity that the meta-analysis quantifies at more than one in three — and the threefold odds versus controls — with everyday coping structure a skimmer will not find in the abstract alone. Sonnet 5’s next targets include asthma, celiac, and cancer survivorship (WC204+).
