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

At the mid-radius, pre-pubertal asthmatic children had smaller periosteal and endosteal circumferences and thicker cortical shells compared to controls, when assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Asthmatics had diminished periosteal expansion for muscle size, suggesting that asthma, its treatment, or its effects on physical activity had resulted in impaired adaptation of bone to muscle loading. Alterations in cortical bone geometry might explain the increased fracture risk in asthmatic children.
