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

Chronic airway diseases including asthma and COPD are prevalent and high-burden conditions with the majority of patients successfully managed in the primary care setting. However, for some patients with more complex disease such as difficult-to-treat or severe asthma, or complex COPD, tertiary care is required. This review provides an overview of the successful tertiary care multidisciplinary respiratory service that operates in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, which has been integrated into the tertiary care outpatient clinics for almost three decades. The service is multifaceted in terms of the clinical care it provides; it includes an "Inpatient Service", "Asthma Management Service", "Difficult Airways Clinic", "Drug Administration Clinic", "Rapid Access Clinic" and "Pulmonary Rehabilitation", and has an integrated research programme. The core of the multidisciplinary approach to airway diseases is a person-centred model of care, the "Treatable Traits" approach. The staffing of this service comprises consultant physicians, respiratory advanced trainees, respiratory scientists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, nurse specialists and a nurse consultant. Patients that present to this service undergo an initial assessment and clinical review by team members, synthesis of relevant data, and development of a diagnosis and management plan. Based on this clinical review, specific interventions are determined according to the traits identified. Over time the service has evolved to accommodate the increasing numbers of patients requiring access to the Difficult Airways Clinic assessment and therapies. This has been facilitated by partnering with the Centres of Excellence in Severe Asthma and Treatable Traits to develop educational and practice management tools.
