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

introductionPaediatric asthma exacerbations comprise a significant portion of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Recognition of diagnostic symptoms and signs, and timely use of appropriate medications may reduce the need of hospitalizations and the impact of this disease on the lives of children and their families.

objectiveTo review the pathophysiology of asthma, the current recommendations for conventional medical treatment in the ED, the controversies surrounding adjunct therapies, and the importance of discharge planning and follow-up.

conclusionsPaediatric asthma exacerbations may be successfully treated in the ED with the use of appropriate inhaled and systemic medications.
