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

Asthma is one of the leading causes of hospital admission in the pediatric population. Standardization of asthma management guidelines for patients admitted to the emergency department has been suggested to improve care delivery and patient outcomes. Utilizing a multidisciplinary asthma task force at a single academic medical center, we sought to determine if a protocol-driven approach to implementation of care for patients with asthma could improve patient outcomes by reducing wait times for administration of steroids. A prospective cohort study examined the use of a standardized asthma pathway over a 2-year period compared to historical controls. Pathway use significantly decreased time to corticosteroid administration (45 vs. 29 min [year 1] and 20 min [year 2];
