Is this an exacerbation of asthma? A cautionary tale.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Asthma exacerbations are a fairly common presentation to emergency departments. However, a careful history, clinical examination and interpretation of investigations may uncover a more serious pathology. We present an interesting case of a 44-year-old man with symptoms suggestive of an asthma exacerbation, who was found to have Churg-Strauss vasculitis/eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis. He had clinical features of a vasculitis, ECG changes and a troponin T level of 7562 ng/L. Renal biopsy confirmed Churg-Strauss vasculitis. Cardiac involvement in Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is one of the leading causes of mortality. We describe the successful diagnosis and management of a patient with CSS.
