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

purposeIntermittent nebulization of short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) is the initial treatment of choice for children with asthma exacerbation. However, children with severe asthma exacerbation (SAE) may not show an adequate response and need aggressive stepwise therapy. We aimed to explore factors associated with a poor response to intermittent nebulized SABA in children with SAE.

methodsA retrospective cohort study of children with SAE diagnosed according to the definition of the British Guidelines on the Management of Asthma, who were admitted at Hat Yai Hospital from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017. All children were treated with intermittent SABA nebulization. Treatment failure was defined as children needing escalated therapy. Logistic regression with confounding score adjustment was used to explore the predictors of treatment failure.

resultsOne hundred thirty-three children were included in the analysis, 59 were in the failure group and 74 were in the success group. After adjusting for potential confounders, they were significantly associated with a previous history of intubation (adjusted OR 6.46, 95% CI 1.13 to 36.79, p=0.036), receiving <3 doses of nebulized salbutamol in the emergency room (ER, aOR 3.21, 95% CI 1.15 to 9.02, p=0.027), ER measured oxygen saturation (SpO

conclusionWe identified four prognostic factors of treatment failure in children with SAE: a previous history of intubation; receiving <3 doses of nebulized salbutamol in the ER, SpO
