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

Understanding and treatment of asthma is significantly complicated by the heterogeneous spectrum of phenotypes associated with the disease. Recent advances in phenotype classification promise more targeted therapies, but these categories are based on constellations of largely external measurements and are not necessarily indicative of underlying pathophysiology. We propose that computational modelling is a valuable tool that allows the disease spectrum to be decomposed not into phenotypes but rather into groups organized by underlying dysfunction, referred to by some authors as endotypes. By breaking down the asthmatic spectrum in this way, therapies can be targeted more directly to the underlying defects. This would be not only an important improvement in its own right, but also an important step toward the ultimate goal of patient-specific modelling.
