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

backgroundBiologic factors are known to contribute to asthma severity. It is unknown whether these factors differentially contribute to asthma severity in black compared with white subjects.

objectiveWe sought to assess the extent to which racial disparities between black and white subjects with severe asthma are attributable to physiologic, immunoinflammatory, and sociodemographic variables.

methodsBlack and white asthmatic adults enrolled in a cross-sectional study focused on severe asthma were evaluated. Severe asthma was identified by using the American Thoracic Society definition. After initial univariable analyses, unconditional logistic regression models were used to estimate the probability of having severe asthma for black and white subjects.

resultsDifferences in severe asthma in black compared with white subjects were observed. In univariable analysis IgE level was not associated with severe asthma in black or white subjects, whereas in multivariable analysis IgE level was significantly associated with severe asthma for black subjects (P = .014) but not for white subjects. The odds of having severe asthma more than doubled for black subjects with 2 or more family members with asthma (P = .026), whereas the odds of severe asthma for white participants with a strong family history of asthma decreased by almost half (P = .05). Atopy was negatively associated with severe asthma in both races in univariable analysis but remained significant only in black subjects, whereas comorbidities were associated with severe asthma in white subjects.

conclusionBiologic factors were distinctly associated with severe asthma only in black subjects. Studies that incorporate comprehensive evaluation of biologic factors associated with asthma might lead to the development of therapies that target biologic abnormalities in black subjects.
