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

introductionThe genetics of severe asthma and asthma exacerbations are distinct from milder forms of asthma. Gene-environmental interactions contribute to the complexity and heterogeneity of severe asthma and asthma exacerbations, and pharmacogenomic studies have also identified genes that affect susceptibility to asthma exacerbations. AREAS COVERED: Studies on the genetics, gene-environment interactions, and pharmacogenomics of asthma exacerbations are reviewed. Multiple individual genetic variants have been identified to be associated with asthma exacerbations but each genetic polymorphism explains only a fraction of the disease and by itself is not able to translate into clinical practice. Research is shifting from candidate gene studies and genome wide association studies towards more integrative approaches to translate genetic findings into clinical diagnostic and therapeutic tools. EXPERT COMMENTARY: Integrative approaches combining polygenic or genomic data with multi-omics technologies have the potential to discover new biologic mechanisms and biomarkers for severe asthma and asthma exacerbations. Greater understanding of genomics and underlying biologic pathways will also lead to improved prevention and treatment, lowering costs, morbidity, and mortality. The utilization of genomic testing and personalized medicine may revolutionize asthma management, in particular for patients with severe, refractory asthma.
