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: Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is sensitive in detecting lung function impairment. In small studies, impaired IOS relates better to respiratory symptoms than spirometry. We studied how IOS related to spirometry and respiratory symptoms in a large population of individuals (n=10 360) in a cross-sectional analysis. Methods: Normal values for IOS and spirometry were defined in healthy, never-smoking individuals, aged 50-64 years, from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (n=3664 for IOS and 3608 for spirometry). For IOS, abnormal values for resistance at 5 Hz ( Results: Abnormal IOS parameters were found in 16% of individuals and were associated with increased odds ratios for nearly all respiratory symptoms when adjusted for age, gender and smoking. In individuals with normal spirometry, abnormal IOS resistance was related to cough and dyspnoea, while abnormal reactance was related to wheeze. In these individuals, the combination of abnormal Conclusions: Abnormal IOS is related to increased respiratory burden in middle-aged individuals with normal spirometry, especially when resistance and reactance parameters are combined. The different relationships between respiratory symptoms and reactance and resistance warrant further research.
