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

Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is linked to airway inflammation and is considered a key manifestation of mild/moderate equine asthma (EA). The study purpose was to determine whether two modalities of non-invasive lung function testing (FOM-forced oscillatory mechanics vs. FP-flowmetric plethysmography) establish the same clinical diagnosis of AHR in horses, using histamine bronchoprovocation. Nineteen horses (3-25 years, 335-650 kg) with clinical signs suggestive of mild/moderate equine asthma were enrolled. FOM and FP testing was performed in each horse on two consecutive days, using a randomized cross-over design. AHR was defined by the histamine dose needed to double FOM baseline resistance, or to achieve a 35% increase in FP delta flow. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was subsequently collected and stained with modified Wright's and toluidine blue stains. Binary statistical tests (related samples
