Safety of bronchodilator reversibility test in elderly subjects: a prospective study.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe reversibility test measures an increase in ventilation parameters after the administration of 400 mg of a short-acting β-agonist (SABA). It is worth noting that a typical dosage, applied as a rescue medicine for bronchospastic dyspnoea, is significantly less, i.e., 100-200 mg.
aimTo assess the effects of inhaled 400 mg fenoterol (in the bronchodilator reversibility test) on the heart rate and the development of tachyarrhythmias in subjects aged 65 and above. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 53 subjects (45 women) aged 77; 68-82 (median; interquartile range) in stable clinical condition were included in the study. Data including medical history, physical examinations, blood biochemistry, chest X-ray, 12-lead electrocardiogram, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring, bronchodilator test, and echocardiography were obtained. During the Holter ECG monitoring, the bronchodilator test using 400 mg fenoterol (Berotec pMDI) was performed.
resultsA slight but statistically significant (
conclusionsThe use of 400 mg fenoterol in a bronchodilator reversibility test in elderly subjects does not entail any significant cardiovascular risk.
