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

backgroundAirway obstruction is defined by spirometry as a low forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV

aimsTo investigate the association between airway obstruction with a low or normal FEV

methodsIn the BAMSE (Barn/Child, Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology; Sweden) and PIAMA (Prevention and Incidence of Asthma and Mite Allergy; the Netherlands) birth cohorts, obstruction (FEV

resultsThe prevalence of classic obstruction at ages 8, 12 and 16 in the two cohorts was 1.5%, 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively. Dysanaptic obstruction was slightly more prevalent: 3.9%, 2.5% and 4.6%, respectively. Obstruction, regardless of FEV CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Children and adolescents with airway obstruction had, regardless of their FEV
