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

background"breathomics" enables indirect analysis of metabolic patterns underlying a respiratory disease. In this study, we analyze exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in asthmatic children before (T0) and after (T1) a three-week course of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP).

methodswe recruited steroid-naive asthmatic children for whom inhaled steroids were indicated and healthy children, evaluating asthma control, spirometry and EBC (in asthmatics at T0 and T1). A liquid-chromatography-mass-spectrometry untargeted analysis was applied to EBC and a mass spectrometry-based target analysis to urine samples.

resultsmetabolomic analysis discriminated asthmatic (

conclusions"breathomics" can discriminate asthmatic from healthy children, with prostaglandin, fatty acid and glycerophospholipid as putative markers. The three-week course of BDP-in spite of a significant clinical improvement-was not associated with changes in EBC metabolic arrangement and urinary steroid profile.
