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

purposeStudies on the longitudinal clinical features of asthma or allergic comorbidities in children are limited. We aimed to examine the trajectories of asthma and allergic comorbidities and determine whether these trajectories differ according to clinical asthma phenotypes from birth to adolescence.

methodsWe enrolled 958 children with physician-diagnosed asthma from the Korean childhood Asthma Study (KAS) cohort. Children with asthma were classified using hierarchical cluster analysis. Information on the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases before cohort entry was collected through linkage with national claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.

resultsIn the KAS cohort, approximately half had a history of atopic dermatitis (AD) before infancy, with its prevalence gradually decreasing during adolescence. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) increased with age. The prevalence of asthma increased during early childhood and decreased during adolescence. According to the natural progression of asthma, AD, and AR trajectories, 4 distinctive phenotypes were identified using latent class analysis: "almost controlled," "early-onset asthma with AD and late-onset AR," "early-onset asthma only," and "intermediate-onset asthma and late-onset AR." Four distinct clinical trajectory patterns of asthma, AD, and AR were identified among the 4 cluster phenotypes based on baseline characteristics. Cluster 1 comprised male-dominant, atopic asthma with early-onset AD and late-onset AR. Cluster 2 included early-onset, atopic asthma with AD" persistent into adolescence. Cluster 3 encompassed "puberty-onset, female-dominant atopic asthma" with early-onset and low remission rates. Cluster 4 comprised "early-onset asthma with less atopic features" and the lowest comorbidities of AD and AR.

conclusionsThe longitudinal trajectories of asthma and allergic comorbidities in Korean children can be classified into distinct clusters. Most phenotypes exhibited early-onset asthma with a varying prevalence of comorbidities. The persistence of AD, rather than its onset age, determines the phenotype.
