Efficacy of β2-adrenergic receptor agonist combined with corticosteroid in the treatment of children with cough variant asthma.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCough variant asthma (CVA) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in children, which has a serious impact on the quality of life and daily activities of children. For severe CVA, immunomodulatory drugs are needed.
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of salmeterol combined with budesonide in the treatment of pediatric CVA.
methods130 children with CVA from January 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into an observation group (salmeterol combined with budesonide) and a control group (budesonide combined with a placebo). Compare the clinical efficacy of two groups before and after intervention. The evaluation parameters include cough frequency score, nocturnal cough arousal, and lung function indicators. Serum inflammatory markers, immune function markers and airway anatomical indicators were also measured.
resultsAfter the intervention, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the cough frequency score and the night cough wake rate of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference. In addition, the changes of lung function indicators, serum markers and immune function markers in the observation group were better than those in the control group.
conclusionThe clinical efficacy of salmeterol combined with Budesonide in the treatment of CVA is better than that of Budesonide alone.
