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 are the most commonly used controller therapies for asthma, producing treatment responses in 6 clinical phenotypes: lung function, bronchodilator response, airway responsiveness, symptoms, need for oral steroids and frequency of emergency department visits and hospitalizations. We hypothesize that treatment response in all of these phenotypes is modulated by a single quantitative corticosteroid responsiveness endophenotype.

objectiveWe sought to develop a composite phenotype that combines multiple clinical phenotypes to measure corticosteroid responsiveness with high accuracy, stability across populations, and robustness to missing data.

methodsWe used principal component analysis to determine a composite corticosteroid responsiveness phenotype that we tested in 4 replication populations. We evaluated the relative accuracy with which the composite and clinical phenotypes measure the endophenotype using treatment effect area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

resultsIn the study population the composite phenotype measured the endophenotype with an AUC of 0.74, significantly exceeding the AUCs of the 6 individual clinical phenotypes, which ranged from 0.56 (P < .001) to 0.67 (P = .015). In 4 replication populations with a total of 22 clinical phenotypes available, the composite phenotype AUC ranged from 0.69 to 0.73, significantly exceeded the AUCs of 14 phenotypes, and was not significantly exceeded by any single phenotype.

conclusionThe composite phenotype measured the endophenotype with higher accuracy, higher stability across populations, and higher robustness to missing data than any clinical phenotype. This should provide the capability to model corticosteroid pharmacologic response and resistance with increased accuracy and reproducibility.
