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

Background: SARS-CoV-2 enters lung cells Methods: This was an observational and retrospective study involving asthmatic patients followed up at a tertiary center. Patients were assessed for severity of asthma, atopy, comorbidities, and COVID-19. Worsening of asthma was considered when, during the period of Sept 2020 to Oct 2021, patients referred an increasing of asthma symptoms and a need to increment their maintenance therapy. Results: This study included 208 asthmatic patients, the mean age was 52.75 years, 79.81% were atopic asthmatics, and 59 (28.37%) had laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease. Of all patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2, eleven (18.64%) needed hospitalization and required oxygen supply with an O2 mask. Comparing the worsening of asthma between patients who had COVID-19 and those who had not the disease, there was a statistically significant difference, 33.90 vs. 11.41%, respectively ( Conclusion: This study assessed a group of asthmatic patients that had COVID-19, and that although the respiratory symptoms related to COVID-19 were mild to moderate, a subgroup of these asthmatic patients evolved with a chronic worsening of their asthma requiring an increment in asthma medication to control the disease.
