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

aimsThe relationship between beta2-adrenoceptor polymorphisms and bronchoprotective response with long-acting beta2-adrenoceptor agonists is unknown.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed data from six placebo-controlled randomized studies in corticosteroid treated asthmatics where formoterol or salmeterol were administered over a 1-2-week period, with prior 1-2 week washout, assessing the primary end point of methacholine PD20 and adenosine monophosphate PC20, following first and last dose, expressed as doubling dose difference from placebo.

resultsThere was no significant heterogeneity between the different studies. Patients who had homozygous or heterozygous genotypes containing the arginine-16 polymorphism (Arg16-Arg16 or Arg16-Gly16) had greater bronchoprotective subsensitivity compared with the homozygous glycine-16 genotype (Gly16-Gly16), amounting to a mean doubling dose difference of 1.49 (95% CI 0.50, 2.48), after the last dose. Subsensitivity of response was greater with formoterol than salmeterol after the last dose in all genotypes, especially with the arginine-16 polymorphism, amounting to a doubling dose difference of 3.00 (95% CI 1.01, 4.99) between formoterol and salmeterol.

conclusionsOur retrospective analysis showed that the arginine-16 polymorphism was associated with subsensitivity of response for bronchoprotection, which was greater for formoterol than salmeterol. A prospective study will be required in order to further evaluate these findings, particularly to assess whether these differences are mirrored by exacerbations.
