Clinical value of bronchodilator response for diagnosing asthma in steroid-naïve adults.
Article in ERJ open research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Spirometry and testing for bronchodilator response have been recommended to detect asthma, and a bronchodilator response (BDR) of ≥12% and ≥200 mL has been suggested to confirm asthma. However, the clinical value of bronchodilation tests in newly diagnosed steroid-naïve adult patients with asthma remains unknown. We evaluated the sensitivity of BDR in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
