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

Asthma is one of the oldest diseases about which there are lots of myths in most parts of the world. The exact cause of this global disease still eludes scientists. The recent knowledge about the pathogenesis of the disease, led to rationalise the medications into different groups. Parallel to the increasing incidence of this disease, is the knowledge about the trigger factors and steps to reduce their exposure. Childhood asthma is a lot different from asthma in adults, as many children won't be able to use the inhalers like adults and most children will not be able to do lung function tests until they are about 6 years of age. Unlike for any other diseases, research has helped year after year in developing new strategies for management of asthma. Starting from definition of the disease to inventing newer medications, management of asthma has revolutionised in the last few years and has also accounted for the decreasing mortality in many countries. This article tries to give an overview of bronchial asthma in children including recent advances and possible future developments.
