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

backgroundAsthma is a heterogeneous disease with different phenotypes, endotypes and responses to treatment. Dust mite allergic asthma (DMAA) is the most common type in children. Compared with randomized control trials, a patient registry study (PRS) can reflect the real physical condition and clinical diagnosis more comprehensively.

methodsChildren who visited the asthma clinic of the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between August 2018 and August 2020, and met the inclusion criteria and also agreed to participate, were enrolled in the registry study. Clinical information, laboratory tests and peripheral blood samples were collected after informed consent was given by guardians.

resultsTo date, 208 children have been enrolled in the patient registry database of DMAA. They are mainly male, with >50% having a history of allergic rhinitis, cesarean section, positive family history and passive smoking. Eosinophils and total immunoglobulin E levels were all significantly higher than normal. According to results for the childhood asthma control test (c-ACT) and ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to predicted value after inhaled corticosteroid treatment, the uncontrolled group had higher hemoglobin (Hb) levels than the control group. The group exhibiting abnormal pulmonary function was older, and had longer disease duration, higher fractional exhaled nitric oxide and Hb than the group in which pulmonary function was restored.

conclusionsWe have preliminarily established a registered study database of children with DMAA. By cluster analysis and using blood samples, we can further study the different pathophysiological mechanisms in order to provide more individualized and targeted treatments for all children.
