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

backgroundSome studies have suggested that the forced expiratory flow between 25 and 75% of vital capacity (FEF

methodsPubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Cochrane Library, SinoMed, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched to acquire eligible studies. Articles published before 30 Sep 2023 were included. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 was used to evaluate the risk of bias and application concern of the included articles. Data were pooled using random-effects models. The univariable meta-regression and subgroup analyses were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity.

resultsTwenty-five studies were included, describing 12,310 patients with asthma-like symptoms and AR. In terms of the FEF

conclusionThis meta-analysis showed that if BPT cannot be performed a value of FEF
