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

backgroundStaphylococcal enterotoxin and fungal sensitization can influence asthma severity; however, the effects on the clinical outcomes of asthma remain unclear. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of asthma in patients with or without staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization and further analyzed the effects of fungal sensitization on the clinical outcomes of patients with staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with asthma who had undergone a staphylococcal enterotoxin-specific immunoglobulin E test at our hospital between January and August 2021. Data on clinical manifestations, medication use, pulmonary function, clinic and emergency room visits and hospitalization were collected from 106 patients.

resultsThe prevalence of staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization was 27.3%. Among the patients with staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization, 50% also presented with fungal sensitization. The risk of hospitalization and emergency room visits was higher among patients with staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization than among those without, as was the need for high-level asthma treatment, including triple inhaler therapy and biologics. After the 12-month Program enrollment, the rates of emergency room visits and hospitalization were similar in the two cohorts. Patients with concomitant staphylococcal enterotoxin and fungal sensitization exhibited a notable post-treatment decline in pulmonary function.

conclusionAdherence to asthma treatment protocols was shown to improve clinical outcomes in patients with or without staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization. Among patients with staphylococcal enterotoxin sensitization, those with concomitant fungal sensitization were more likely to exhibit a rapid decline in pulmonary function during a 1-year high-level treatment program.
