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

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potential bioactive gas produced continuously and constantly in the airways of healthy subjects. In allergic airway inflammation, the level of exhaled NO is usually increased and mediated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) enzyme presenting in the epithelium and different inflammatory cells. The measurement of NO concentration in the airway is possible with portable devices which use an electroluminescence technique. In subjects with upper airway with allergic inflammation such as in allergic rhinitis, the measurement of nasal NO (nNO) may help to diagnose and manage the disease. In the lower airway, increased fractional exhaled NO (FENO) reflects directly the inflammatory process that occurs in the airways that are typically seen in asthma. It has been shown that there is a strong correlation between FENO levels and increased activity of airway inflammation mediated by immuno-allergic cells and mediators. Thus, FENO has higher specificity and sensitivity than other methods in diagnosing the severity of inflammation in asthmatic patients. Moreover, the correlation between increased FENO levels and a high risk of bronchial hyperresponsiveness has also been demonstrated. FENO is also a relevant biomarker to evaluate asthma status due to the change of its values occurring earlier than clinical manifestations and spirometry parameters. In addition, the measurement of FENO with portable devices helps to support the diagnosis of asthma, to follow-up the control of asthma and to personalize asthmatic patients for target treatment with biologic therapy. Therefore, measuring FENO with portable devices in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic airway inflammation, especially in asthma, is one of the most essential applications of NO biomarkers in exhaled breath.
