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

Purpose: To investigate whether Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) could more effectively monitor children with uncontrolled asthma and evaluate small airway function changes, while establishing a prediction model in combination with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) to assist in clinical management and treatment of asthmatic children. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 203 asthmatic children who were followed up in our hospital from August 2023 to August 2024. Patients were divided into controlled asthma group (n=80) and uncontrolled asthma group (n=123). Conventional ventilatory parameters, IOS parameters, FeNO levels, and clinical data were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The optimal prediction model was established through multivariate logistic regression. Results: In the uncontrolled asthma group, the respiratory system impedance at 5 hz (Z5), resistance at 5 hz (R5), the difference between resistance at 5 hz and resistance at 20 hz (R5-R20), resonant frequency (Fres), and FeNO levels were significantly higher compared to the controlled asthma group. The ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV Conclusion: Compared to conventional pulmonary function tests, IOS effectively identifies uncontrolled status in asthmatic children, particularly in younger patients, with higher sensitivity to small airway function changes. The model comprising R5+(R5-R20) +FeNO demonstrates clinical value in identifying uncontrolled status in asthmatic children.
