The predictive value of impulse oscillometry for asthma exacerbations in childhood: A systematic review and meta-analyses.
Synthesis in Pediatric pulmonology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07185581 (Evaluation of Small Airway Function During COPD Exacerbation and Recovery Using Impulse Oscillometry), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveSeveral studies have explored the predictive value of impulse oscillometry (IOS) for asthma exacerbations in childhood, but its specific parameters are still unclear. Therefore, we designed this meta-analysis to determine the related indicators of acute asthma attacks.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed on July 9, 2020 based on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science database. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effects models.
resultsA total of 615 patients from six trials were included in this analysis. IOS may be a useful tool to predict asthma exacerbations. And the results showed that R5 (WMD = -1.21, 95% CI: -1.55 to -0.87, p < .001), Fres (WMD = -1.34, 95% CI: -2.03 to -0.65, p = .018), and AX (WMD = -7.35, 95% CI: -9.94 to -4.76, p < .001) had significant correlation with asthma exacerbations. In addition, X5 may also predict the acute attack of asthma (WMD = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.56 to 1.01, p < .001).
conclusionsR5, AX, Fres, and X5 may be able to identify the risk of an acute attack of asthma. Besides, our research further demonstrated that peripheral airway injury may play an important role in the acute attack of asthma.
