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

There is increasing recognition of phenotypic variability in pediatric asthma, providing the opportunity for a more personalized approach to therapy. Increasingly biologic therapies, in particular those targeting the "allergic" (or T helper 2) pathway, are being considered for children with severe asthma. However, there is a great deal of variability in the extent these biologic therapies have been studied in children, as well as efficacy of results thus far. The goal of this article is to review the mechanism of action, efficacy, and potential predictive and monitoring biomarkers of the biologic medications focusing on the pediatric population, in an effort to establish a more personalized approach to asthma in the pediatric population for the 21st century.
