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

purposeAsthma, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), rhinosinusitis, and esophageal reflux are conditions that may overlap, forming a syndrome known as CORE. Whenever clinical remission of severe asthma (SA) is not achieved, it is essential to investigate the presence of comorbidities, in particular the presence of OSA that may lead to the diagnosis of CORE syndrome.

methodsThe study was conducted on naive patients with SA and concomitant rhinosinusitis and esophageal reflux, referred to our institute since 2018. Patients who did not experience clinical remission were investigated for OSA through a home sleep apnea test. Subsequently, for those diagnosed with OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was proposed and was re-evaluated after 12 months.

resultsSix patients with CORE syndrome were enrolled. The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 33.25 ± 20.13 events/h, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) was 28.95 ± 19.95 events/h, and time in bed with SaO2 < 90% (T

conclusionWhenever facing SA patients, non-responders to therapy, it is important to suspect the presence of CORE syndrome; in particular, the detection and subsequent treatment of OSA would seem to improve the outcome of such patients.
