Trial report in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPediatric obesity-related asthma is more severe and less responsive to medications than asthma in normal-weight children. Obese asthmatic children have nonatopic T

objectiveWe compared the CD4

methodsCD4

resultsTranscriptome-wide differential gene expression among obese asthmatic children was enriched for genes, including VAV2, DOCK5, PAK3, PLD1, CDC42EP4, and CDC42PBB, which are associated with CDC42, a small guanosine triphosphate protein linked to T-cell activation. Upregulation of MLK3 and PLD1, genes downstream of CDC42 in the mitogen-activated protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways and the inverse correlation of CDC42EP4 and DOCK5 transcript counts with FEV

conclusionsOur study identifies the CDC42 pathway as a novel target that is upregulated in T
