Pharmacology of airway inflammation in asthma.
Review in Lung, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Chronic desquamative eosinophilic bronchitis is a characteristic pathologic feature of asthma which may even antedate the onset of symptoms. The pharmacology of asthmatic inflammation has been relatively poorly studied and most of the current data available have been inferred indirectly from studies of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and late-phase responses. Apart from mast cells, the effects of drugs used in the treatment of asthma on other airway inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, alveolar macrophages, etc. have not been extensively studied. The pharmacology of asthmatic inflammation should comprise the study of various aspects of this inflammatory response such as airway microvascular leakage, mediator release, and cell chemotaxis. Ultimately the pharmacologic modulation of the pathologic features of the asthmatic airway by the chronic use of antiasthma drugs, coupled with clinical responses, need to be investigated using bronchial biopsies and broncholveolar lavage in asthmatic patients.
