Role of impulse oscillometry in diagnosis and follow-up in bronchial asthma.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness and variable airflow obstruction, that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment. Impulse oscillometry is a newer diagnostic modality for asthma. It is based on the measurement of sound waves reflected by airway resistance. Objectives: The aim of this article is to study the role of impulse oscillometry in diagnosis and follow-up of bronchial asthma. Methods: Fifty-five clinically diagnosed bronchial asthma patients were evaluated with spirometry and impulse oscillometry before and after 3 months of inhaled treatment. The sensitivity to diagnose and follow-up was compared using proper statistical tests. Results: Impulse oscillometry was superior to spirometry in diagnosing bronchial asthma and also in accessing the treatment response after 3 months. Conclusion: Impulse oscillometry is superior in predicting bronchial asthma and its parameters are also more sensitive in accessing treatment response. It can replace spirometry as it is easy to perform and effort independent.
