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

backgroundThe long-term goals of asthma treatment are to achieve well control of symptoms and to minimize the future risk of asthma exacerbation. Identifying biomarkers for uncontrolled asthma is important for improving the asthma outcome. This study aimed to investigate the association of the levels of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) with asthma control status in specific asthma phenotype, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), and aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA).

methodsA total of 136 adult asthmatics, including 47 asthmatics with AERD and 89 asthmatics with ATA, were enrolled. Plasma, sputum, and urine were collected at enrollment and the levels of EDN were measured by the K-EDN ELISA kit. Urinary leukotriene E4 (LTE

resultsIn the total study subjects, sputum levels of EDN as well as of urine and plasma EDN showed significantly higher levels in patients with uncontrolled asthma than in those with well-controlled or partly-controlled asthma (ANOVA, p < 0.001); in patients with AERD, the sputum EDN levels showed significant correlations with ACT, ACQ, and AQLQ scores (p = 0.010, r = -0.536, p = 0.001, r = 0.665, and p < 0.001, r = -0.691, respectively), while no differences were noted in patients with ATA. Sputum EDN level was the only significant factor for ACT, ACQ, and AQLQ scores in patients with AERD (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively) in the multivariate analysis adjusting for age, sex, peripheral eosinophil count, and urine LTE

conclusionThe level of sputum EDN may be a potential biomarker for identifying the asthma control status in patients with AERD.
