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

Aim: The impact of sensitization on asthma outcomes in adults is still being discussed. This study aims to describe the sensitization profiles and allergic comorbidities of patients with severe asthma, and to analyze their association with asthma severity. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included adult patients, evaluated at the Severe Asthma Clinic of Bichat University Hospital (Paris, France) during a 1-day hospital stay between May 2022 and January 2024. Sensitization, defined by a positive skin prick test and/or allergen-specific IgE levels greater than 0.10 kUA/L, was analysed alongside allergic comorbidities. The ASSESS score was used to grade asthma severity. Results: Of the 201 patients included, 142 (70.6%) exhibited at least one sensitization to an aeroallergen, of whom 38 (26.8%) were monosensitized, and 104 (73.2%) were polysensitized. Compared to polysensitized patients, monosensitized patients were older at diagnosis (years: 30.6 ± 20.1 vs 21.7 ± 17.6, p = 0.01), had a higher ASSESS score (median (Q1; Q3); 13 (11; 15) vs 11 (9; 14), p = 0.02), a lower pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (%pred: 70.3 ± 23.2 vs 79.3 ± 21.8, p = 0.03), and experienced a greater burden of exacerbations (p = 0.03). There were significantly more polysensitized patients with at least three allergic comorbidities, but the number of allergic comorbidities did not correlate with asthma severity. Conclusion: Monosensitized patients exhibited more severe disease and greater airway obstruction compared to polysensitized individuals. These findings suggest that allergies, especially in cases of late-onset asthma, may not be a significant determinant of asthma severity in adults.
