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 and aim: Since their effectiveness was initially demonstrated, oral corticosteroids (OCS) have been routinely used to treat asthma. We now know that their usage is linked to the development of side effects such osteoporosis and adrenal insufficiency. This is an observational study based on Delphi methodology. The questionnaire was divided into 4 sections: OCS generalities, maintenance treatment, short-term treatment, and adverse events. Materials and methods: Two rounds of a 68-item questionnaire were completed by a panel of 48 allergists and pneumologists. Results: Definitions were agreed upon, as was the proper use of OCS in the treatment of severe asthma. The experts agreed that the use of OCS should be minimized as much as possible and that in the event of maintenance treatments, a slow and progressive tapering strategy should be used. They also emphasized the importance of standardizing the technique for measuring the amount of SCG delivered in both cases. Conclusions: This consensus document attempts to bring together scientifically supported suggestions from specialists in the management of asthma to reduce the use of OCS in Spain.
