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

purpose

methodsA total of 223 elderly asthmatics and 89 controls were analyzed. Patients were assessed for demographics, history of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), asthma duration, acute exacerbation frequency, and lung function at baseline and then were prospectively followed up for 2 years. Serum total IgE and SE-sIgE levels were measured at baseline. Airflow obstruction was defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio < 0.7 at baseline and FAO was defined as FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.7 over the 2-year follow-up.

resultsAt baseline, the prevalence of airflow obstruction was 29.1%. Patients with airflow obstruction were significantly more likely to be male, and have a positive smoking history, comorbid CRS, and higher levels of SE-sIgE than those without airflow obstruction. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that airflow obstruction was significantly associated with current smoking and SE-sIgE sensitization at baseline. After the 2-year follow-up, baseline SE-sIgE sensitization was consistently related to FAO. Meanwhile, the number of exacerbations per year was significantly correlated with SE-sIgE levels.

conclusionsBaseline SE-sIgE sensitization was significantly associated with the number of asthma exacerbations and FAO after the 2-year follow-up in elderly asthmatics. These findings warrant further investigation of the direct and mediating roles of SE-sIgE sensitization on airway remodeling.
