Association Between Asthma and Reduced Androgen Receptor Expression in Airways.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2022. 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
A growing body of evidence suggests a role for androgens in asthma and asthma control. This includes a sex discordance in disease rates that changes with puberty, experiments in mice showing androgens reduce airway inflammation, and a reported association between airway androgen receptor (AR) expression and disease severity in asthma patients. We set out to determine whether airway AR expression differs between asthma patients and healthy controls. We analyzed data from 8 publicly available data sets with gene expression profiling from airway epithelial cells obtained both from asthma patients and control individuals. We found that airway AR expression was lower in asthma patients than in controls in both sexes, and that having AR expression below the median in the pooled data set was associated with substantially elevated odds of asthma vs having AR expression above the median (odds ratio 4.89; 95% CI, 3.13-7.65,
