Detection of Inadequately Controlled Asthma in Adults Using Impulse Oscillometry and Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide.
Article in Journal of asthma and allergy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of impulse oscillometry (IOS) and its combination with fractional expiratory nitric oxide (FeNO) in distinguishing inadequately controlled asthma (ICA) from well-controlled asthma (WCA) in adults. Patients and Methods: Adult patients aged 18 and above with asthma were recruited and underwent routine blood tests, FeNO, IOS, and spirometry before and after bronchodilator administration on the same day. Asthma control level was assessed using Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores; WCA was defined as a score above 20, while ICA was defined as a score of 20 or below. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and logistic regression analyses were employed to determine the relationship between IOS and FeNO measurements and asthma control. Results: The Conclusion: IOS is useful in discriminating ICA from WCA in adults, with its effectiveness further enhanced when combined with FeNO measurements.
