The current state and provisions for elderly patients with asthma.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Demographic statistics of Japan indicate that it is moving toward a super-aging society and, accordingly, the ratio of elderly patients with asthma is also increasing. An important point in diagnosing elderly patients with asthma is that the onset of asthma in old age, along with a history of smoking, differentiation, and complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease must be considered. Primary care physicians must understand the characteristics of elderly patients when treating them. When conducting inhalation therapy in any asthmatic patient, especially elderly asthmatic patients, it is important to teach the patients proper technique and sustain medication adherence. We believe this effort will lead to an improvement in controlling asthma as well as a decrease in the number of asthma deaths.
