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

objectiveTo analyze the clinical effect of budesonide/fomoterol combined with montelukast in the treatment of chronic persistent asthma.

methodsNinety-four patients with asthma who came to our hospital for treatment from April 2017 to April 2019 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with budesonide/formoterol, and the observation group was treated with montelukast on the basis of the control group. The treatment effect of the two groups was observed and compared.

resultsThe total efficacy rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05); the daytime symptom score and nighttime symptom score of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The pulmonary function indexes of the two groups after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment, and the improvement of the observation group was more significant (P<0.05); the FeNO and EO levels of the observation group after treatment were superior to those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

conclusionBudesonide/formoterol powder inhalation combined with montelukast can effectively improve the lung function, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and accelerate the regression of symptoms in the treatment of chronic persistent asthma. It is worth clinical application.
