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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to identify patients who benefit most from exhaled nitric oxide fraction (

methodsWe used data from 179 adults with asthma from a 12-month primary care randomised controlled trial with 3-monthly assessments of

resultsWe found a difference between the Ca and FCa strategy for the mean dosage of beclomethasone strategy of 223 µg (95% CI 6-439), p=0.04) and for the total costs of asthma medication a mean reduction of US$159 (95% CI US$33-285), p=0.03) in patients with a low baseline
