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

The ideal definition of asthma remission should be practical, measurable and meaningful for both patients and physicians, while also representing true disease modification. Unfortunately, current proposals to define asthma remission fall short of this standard, not for lack of careful consideration, but due to the challenges presented by asthma, including but not limited to variability in symptom perception, intrinsic variability in lung function, seasonality and the impact of comorbidities. This article discusses obstacles and challenges to developing a widely adopted, consensus definition of asthma remission. We searched the literature for keywords including "asthma", "remission" and "super-responder" and identified interventional trials in asthma that highlight the challenges inherent in defining asthma remission.
