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

Asthma affects a large number of patients in China, but comprehensive evaluation of risks associated with poor asthma control in asthmatic patients with nasal diseases was still limited. We conducted this study to provide a comprehensive estimate of asthma control in Chinese asthma patients with combined nasal diseases, to explore the effect of kinds of nasal diseases on the asthma control, and to identify risk factors associated with uncontrolled asthmatic patients with combined nasal diseases. 1756 asthma patients concomitant with nasal diseases aged ≥17 years and representing all regions of mainland China were surveyed. Multivariate logistic regression model with all related demographic characteristics and disease characteristics factors entered was used to identify risk factors associated with uncontrolled asthma. 56.4% of asthmatic patients with combined allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis or rhinopolyp remained uncontrolled. Concomitant without allergic rhinitis, younger age, better treatment adherence and higher education level might positively impact asthma control among asthmatic patients with combined nasal diseases. Perennial allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.5, P = 0.021), moderate-severe allergic rhinitis (OR = 2.2, P = 0.001) were all found to significantly increase the risk of uncontrolled asthma among asthma patients with combined allergic rhinitis. The high prevalence of uncontrolled asthma indicates that asthma management among adult Chinese asthmatic patients comorbid with nasal disease is still a challenge. Efforts should be made to raise the awareness of asthma management and to provide sufficient treatment will greatly contribute to improved quality of asthma management. It is possible to minimize the influence of allergic rhinitis on asthma control by improving nasal function, especially for more severe allergic rhinitis and perennial allergic rhinitis.
