Reconsidering Gender in Asthma: Is It All About Sex? A Perspective Review.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Asthma is a prevalent chronic condition, affecting an estimated 260 million people worldwide, according to the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study. This condition significantly impacts individuals of all ages. One notable finding is that asthma prevalence among adults was higher in females than males. Recent evidence suggests that these disparities in asthma prevalence and outcomes are likely due to complex interactions among hormonal, anatomical, and environmental factors, coupled with societal and behavioral influences. The interchangeable use of the terms "sex" and "gender" in the scientific literature is frequently inconsistent. Biological sex is defined by anatomical and physiological characteristics determined by genetics; "gender", on the other hand, is a more complex construct and a universally accepted definition is still lacking. This lack of clarity, coupled with potential knowledge gaps, misunderstandings, or the inherent difficulty in differentiating sex- and gender-related effects, often leads to the terms being poorly defined or used interchangeably. Such imprecise usage hinders accurate data interpretation and research progress. This paper provides a perspective review synthesizing current knowledge regarding the influence of sex and gender on asthma, specifically focusing on their impact on disease pathogenesis, clinical presentation, severity, and management strategies.
