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

backgroundRecurrent cow's milk (CM) aspiration is often associated with gastroesophageal reflux in infants and toddlers and it seems to be implicated in the etiology of different inflammatory lung disorders. This study aimed to investigate ex vivo the impact of CM aspiration on human airways and whether treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) or sodium cromoglycate (SCG) may prevent the potential CM-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR).

methodsHuman isolated bronchi were contracted by electrical field stimulation (EFS

resultsAfter a 60 min-challenge with CM 1:10 v/v and fat/lactose-free CM 1:10 v/v, ASM significantly (P ​< ​0.05) increased compared to control (+67.04 ​± ​17.08% and +77.91 ​± ​1.34%, respectively), a condition that remained stable for 150 ​min post-treatment, whereas HM did not alter ASM contractility. BDP 1 ​μM and 10 ​μM significantly (P ​< ​0.05) reduced the AHR elicited by CM (-52.49 ​± ​10.97% and -66.98 ​± ​7.90%, respectively vs. control). At the same manner, SCG 1 ​μM and 10 ​μM significantly (P ​< ​0.05) inhibited the CM-induced AHR (-59.03 ​± ​9.24% and -73.52 ​± ​7.41%, respectively vs. control).

conclusionCM induces AHR in human ASM by eliciting an increased parasympathetic contractile response. Preventive treatment with nebulized SCG may be indicated in infants or toddlers fed with CM, rather than with BDP due to a superior safety profile.
