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

Inhaled beta-agonists are commonly prescribed for the treatment of wheezing disorders in infants and children. Despite this, there are concerns that these medications have potentially detrimental effects on lung health and symptoms. We will review the ontogeny of beta-agonist receptor and smooth muscle development from fetal life through infancy and childhood as well as the evidence supporting the clinical utility of beta-agonists in wheezing infants and asthmatic children. Finally, the potential detrimental effects of long- and short-acting beta-agonists in infants and children are discussed.
