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

backgroundApart from airway inflammation, airway remodeling is one of the main pathological features of asthma. However, it remains unclear when airway remodeling starts in children and whether it could be a potential therapeutic target in asthma. DATA SOURCES: We have reviewed the recent literature regarding structural changes after airway remodeling, the relationship between airway inflammation and airway remodeling, the relationship between childhood asthma and airway remodeling, and the role of long-term medication in asthma treatment for airway remodeling.

resultsThe relationship between airway inflammation and airway remodeling is still controversial. A number of morphological and pathological studies have confirmed that airway remodeling occurs not only in adult asthma, but also in childhood asthma. It develops early in the disease process of asthma. At present, long-term medication in asthma treatment mainly focuses on anti-inflammation. However, there are no therapeutic interventions that revert airway remodeling once it is established.

conclusionsAirway remodeling may provide a possible new therapeutic target in the management of asthma. It is imperative to strengthen the research in developing new medications specifically for asthma airway remodeling. Prevention and treatment of airway remodeling become top priority in future asthma research.
