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

Although asthma is more frequently diagnosed in childhood, a substantial proportion of cases manifests in adulthood. Nonetheless, few studies have comprehensively examined asthma incidence across different ages, genders, and asthma phenotypes. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of asthma incidence from birth to late adulthood, stratified by age, gender, and the presence or absence of allergies. Our analysis indicates that a significant number of asthma cases emerged in adulthood, particularly among middle-aged women, with adult-onset asthma surpassing childhood-onset asthma after the age of 35 years. Additionally, allergic asthma was more common in younger than older individuals but decreases with age, ultimately leading to a higher proportion of non-allergic asthma in older than younger individuals. These findings underscore the predominance of adult-onset asthma among females and confirm the majority of allergic asthma in children, which declines with age. Additionally, increasing age is associated with increased incidence of non-allergic asthma. Asthma heterogeneity should be considered in both clinical management and research.
