Comparison of Effect of Leukotriene Biosynthesis Blockers and Inhibitors of Phosphodiesterase Enzyme in Patients with Bronchial Hyperreactivity.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimBlocking effect of leukotriene biosynthesis-zileuton and blocking the effect of phosphodiesterase enzyme-diprophylline in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma and bronchial increased reactivity, and tiotropium bromide as an antagonist of the muscarinic receptor studied in this work.
methodsParameters of the lung function are determined with Body plethysmography. The resistance of the airways (Raw) was registered and measured was intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV), and specific resistance (SRaw) was also calculated. For the research, administered was zileuton (tabl. 600 mg) and diprophylline (tabl. 150 mg).
resultsTwo days after in-house administration of leukotriene biosynthesis blocker-zileuton (4 x 600 mg orally), on the day 3 initial values of patients measured and afterwards administered 1 tablet of zileuton, and again measured was Raw and ITGV, after 60, 90 and 120 min. and calculated was SRaw; (p < 0.01). Diprophylline administered 7 days at home in a dose of (2 x 150 mg orally), on the day 8 to same patients administered 1 tablet of diprophylline, and performed measurements of Raw, ITGV, after 60, 90 and 120 min, and calculated the SRaw (p < 0.05). Treatment of the control group with tiotropium bromide - antagonist of the muscarinic receptor (2 inh. x 0.18 mcg), is effective in removal of the increased bronchomotor tonus, by also causing the significant decrease of the resistance (Raw), respectively of the specific resistance (SRaw), (p < 0.05).
conclusionEffect of zileuton in blocking of leukotriene biosynthesis is not immediate after oral administration, but the effect seen on the third day of cys-LTs' inhibition, and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and A4 (LTA4) in patients with bronchial reactivity and bronchial asthma, which is expressed with a high significance, (p < 0.01). Blockage of phosphodiesterase enzyme-diprophylline decreases the bronchial reactivity, which is expressed with a moderate significance, (p < 0.05).
