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

backgroundVariable patterns of childhood wheezing might indicate differences in the cause and prognosis of respiratory illnesses. Better understanding of these patterns could facilitate identification of modifiable factors related to development of asthma.

objectivesWe characterized childhood wheezing phenotypes from infancy to adolescence and their associations with asthma outcomes.

methodsLatent class analysis was used to derive phenotypes based on patterns of wheezing recorded at up to 14 time points from birth to 16½ years among 12,303 participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Measures of lung function (FEV

resultsSix wheezing phenotypes were identified: never/infrequent, preschool-onset remitting, midchildhood-onset remitting, school age-onset persisting, late childhood-onset persisting, and continuous wheeze. The 3 persistent phenotypes were associated with bronchodilator reversibility of 12% or greater (BDR) from baseline (odds ratio [OR] range, 2.14-3.34), a Feno value of 35 ppb or greater (OR range, 3.82-6.24), and lung function decrements (mean range of differences: -0.22 to -0.27 SD units (SDU) for FEV

conclusionsEarly childhood-onset wheezing that persists into adolescence represents the clearest target group for interventions to maximize lung function outcomes.
