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: Asthma is associated with persistent airway inflammation, and numerous studies have investigated inflammatory markers causing asthma. However, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker, with scarce research reporting on the correlation between SII and asthma and asthma-related events. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between SII and asthma and asthma-related events (including whether asthma is still present, asthma flare-ups in the past year, and asthma duration) using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods: The study utilized data from NHANES 2009-2018 with asthma and asthma-related events as dependent variables and SII as an independent variable. Multifactor logistic regression was employed to assess the correlation between the independent and dependent variables. Smoothed curve-fitting and threshold effect analyses were also carried out to determine the presence of non-linear relationships. Subgroup analyses were then performed to identify sensitive populations. Results: In this study, we analyzed data from 40,664 participants to elucidate the association between SII and asthma and its related events. The study findings indicated a positive correlation between SII and asthma, with a relative risk increase of 0.03% for asthma incidence per one percentage point increase in SII (OR = 1.0003, 95% CI: 1.0002, 1.0004). For individuals still suffering from asthma, higher SII also indicated a positive correlation with ongoing asthma (OR = 1.0004, 95% CI: 1.0001, 1.0006). However, no statistically significant association was observed between SII and asthma exacerbations within the following year (OR = 1.0001, Conclusion: Our study concludes that SII is positively correlated with the persistence of asthma yet has limited predictive power for asthma recurrence. This highlights SII's potential as a tool for assessing asthma risk and formulating targeted management strategies.
