PILL Series. The 'problematic' asthma patient.
Article in Singapore medical journal, 2015. 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 is a reversible chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that can be effectively controlled without causing any lifestyle limitation or burden on the quality of life of the majority of asthma patients. However, persistently uncontrolled asthma can be frustrating for both the patient and the managing physician. Patients who fail to respond to high-intensity asthma treatment fall into the category of 'problematic' asthma, which is further subdivided into 'difficult' asthma and 'severe refractory' asthma. Establishing the correct diagnosis of asthma and addressing comorbidities, compliance, inhaler technique and environmental triggers are essential when dealing with 'problematic' asthma patients. A systemic approach is also crucial in managing such patients. This is pertinent for general practitioners, as the majority of asthma patients are diagnosed and managed at the primary care level.
