Synthesis in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05589779 (Relationship Between Cardiovascular Disease in Asthma and Eosinophil Subtypes and Biomarkers of Bronchial Remodeling.), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated that asthma might be associated with an increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. However, this relationship differs by gender.

objectivesTo systematically evaluate the association of asthma on the incidence of CVD and death in cohort studies.

designFixed and random effects models were used to calculate risk estimates in a meta-analysis. Potential publication bias was calculated using a funnel plot, Begg's rank correlation test, and Egger's linear regression test. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the PubMed and Embase databases for studies that examined the relationship between asthma and CVD or all-cause mortality. SELECTION CRITERIA: Prospective and retrospective cohort studies.

resultsTen studies containing 406 426 participants were included. The summary relative risk (95% confi-dence interval, CI) for patients with asthma was 1.33 (95% CI: 1.15-1.53), for CVD in women, it was 1.55 (95% CI: 1.20-2.00), for CVD in men it was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.92-1.56), and for all-cause mortality in both genders it was 1.36 (95% CI: 1.01-1.83). These findings remained consistent after sensitivity analysis.

conclusionThe results indicate that asthma was associated with an increased risk of CVD and all-cause mortality. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: Systematic review was not registered.
