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

Airway narrowing due to hyperresponsiveness severely limits gas exchange in patients with asthma. Imaging studies in humans and animals have shown that bronchoconstriction causes patchy patterns of ventilation defects throughout the lungs, and several computational models have predicted that these regions are due to constriction of smaller airways. However, these imaging approaches are often limited in their ability to capture dynamic changes in small airways, and the patterns of constriction are heterogeneous. To directly investigate regional variations in airway narrowing and the response to deep inspirations (DIs), we utilized tantalum dust and microfocal X-ray imaging of rat lungs to obtain dynamic images of airways in an intact animal model. Airway resistance was simultaneously measured using the flexiVent system. Custom-developed software was used to track changes in airway diameters up to
