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: The effort-independent tidal breathing test used by oscillometry presents a viable alternative for following up patients whose condition is stable while they are receiving biologic therapy. Objective: We aimed to determine intrasession and intersession repeatability values for airwave oscillometry (AOS) and spirometry in patients who were already taking benralizumab. Methods: In all, 21 patients with severe eosinophilic asthma attended the Scottish Centre for Respiratory Research as part of a clinical trial (EudraCT identification number 2019-003763-22). Paired AOS and spirometry values were obtained at 3 separate visits (baseline and days 28 and 56) with no change in asthma therapy. Results: Intrasession agreement between repeated measurements for AOS and spirometry was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥ 0.90) at all 3 visits. Intersession agreement was also excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥ 0.80). Conclusion: In this study we report medium-term intrasession and intersession repeatability values for airwave oscillometry and spirometry in a cohort of severely asthmatic patients receiving benralizumab therapy. Oscillometry can be used to follow up patients with asthma who are taking biologics.
