Airway resistance measured by the interrupter technique: normative data for 2-10 year olds of three ethnicities.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe measurement of airway resistance using the interrupter technique (R(int)) is feasible in preschool children and other subjects unable to undertake spirometry. This makes it potentially useful for the measurement of lung function in these groups. Commercial devices use different algorithms to measure pressure and flow from which R(int) is derived. This study provides normative values for British children using devices from a single manufacturer.
methodsR(int) was measured in 236 healthy children of three ethnic groups (Afro-Caribbean and black African, Bangladeshi, and white British) aged 2-10 years using Micro Medical devices. Software in the devices calculated R(int) from pressure measured by the two point, back extrapolation method from the pressure transient during valve closure, with flow measured just before valve closure.
resultsR(int) is related to both age and height, but when age is allowed for there is not a significant relation with height. Neither gender nor any of the ethnicities studied was significantly related to R(int). DISCUSSION: These measurements in healthy children using this technique may be used as reference data for similar populations.
