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

backgroundInhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have an important role in the treatment of chronic asthma in children. The prevalence of asthma symptoms in children varies from 0 to 30 percent in different populations with the highest prevalence occurring in Australia, New Zealand and England.

methodsA review of the literature and studies about inhaled corticosteroids safety, action and adverse events in children and adults where applicable was done.

conclusionInhaled corticosteroids are the main stay therapy for persistent asthma in children. Their safety and efficacy is proven from the literature. Proper education of the parents about asthma and inhaled corticosteroids is very important and improve asthma control. Keeping in mind to taper the inhaled corticosteroids to the lowest dose needed to control asthma and using correct inhalation technique by the use of spacers with metered dose inhalers or dry powder inhalers (Turbuhaler and Diskus) will prevent the occurrence of adverse events.
