The use of inhaled corticosteroids in children with asthma.
Review in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are the most effective long-term controllers for the treatment of childhood asthma. There is now substantial controlled clinical trial data to support the efficacy and safety of ICS therapy in infants and young children (6 months to 4 years of age). These data support the use of nebulizer suspension or metered-dose inhalers with valved holding chambers as effective forms of delivery in this age group. Currently, selection of delivery method depends on the comfort of the parent and the cooperation of the child, as well as on which drug the clinician chooses. The ICSs have a favorable safety profile when administered in currently recommended dosages. A transient 0.5- to 2-cm growth delay occurs in prepubescent children but does not appear to affect attainment of predicted adult height. Long-term trials support the existing recommendations of lowering dosage once control is achieved and stopping therapy when the child's asthma is in remission.
