In one paragraph

Review in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04835961 (This Study Will Record the Use of Budesonide / Formoterol Either as Maintenance Treatment or / or as Needed According to Standard Clinical Practice and at the Discretion of the Treating Physician.), which is not on this map. Cited by 132 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Asthma is a complex disorder that displays heterogeneity and variability in its clinical expression both acutely and chronically. This heterogeneity is influenced by multiple factors including age, sex, socioeconomic status, race and/or ethnicity, and gene by environment interactions. Presently, no precise physiologic, immunologic, or histologic characteristics can be used to definitively make a diagnosis of asthma, and therefore the diagnosis is often made on a clinical basis related to symptom patterns (airways obstruction and hyperresponsiveness) and responses to therapy (partial or complete reversibility) over time. Although current treatment modalities are capable of producing control of symptoms and improvements in pulmonary function in the majority of patients, acute and often severe exacerbations still occur and contribute significantly to both the morbidity and mortality of asthma in all age groups. This review will highlight some of the important clinical features of asthma and emphasize recent advances in both pathophysiology and treatment.
