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

Future advances in the pharmacotherapy of lung disease will occur mainly in the treatment of asthma, and will include the development of new long-acting beta 2-agonists, long-acting parasympatholytics, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, corticosteroids with fewer systemic side-effects, and other antiinflammatory drugs. Free radicals play an important role in most lung diseases, including asthma, emphysema, fibrosis, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. The search for free radical scavengers is now in progress. Replacement therapy with alpha 1-antitrypsin and surfactant is now possible. Progress in this area stems principally from a better understanding of the pathogenesis of lung disease.
