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

Background: The endophenotypes of allergic disorders are known to vary across racial groups, underscoring the importance of studying allergic disease phenotypes in the population of Tokyo. Objective: We sought to elucidate the developmental trajectories of wheezing among adolescents and their associations with pulmonary function and IgE sensitization in the Japanese pediatric population. Methods: The research used data from the Tokyo Children's Health, Illness, and Development study, a comprehensive Tokyo birth cohort study, which recruited 1701 mother-infant dyads prenatally and followed the children up from birth till age 13 years. The analytical approach was conducted in 4 distinct phases: (1) delineation of trajectory groups using latent class growth analysis; (2) detailed characterization of each identified trajectory; (3) assessment of the relationships between predictors and wheezing groups through multinomial logistic regression; and (4) examination of the interrelations among trajectory groups, lung function, and IgE sensitization at age 13 years. Results: A total of 5 unique wheezing phenotypes were discerned: early-onset transient wheezing (10.2%), late-onset transient wheezing (7.3%), low frequent wheezing (15.0%), persistent wheezing (11.9%), and never/infrequent wheezing (55.5%). No statistically significant deterioration in impulse oscillometry parameters and spirometry parameters except %V25 was detected across any of the phenotypes. Nonetheless, the persistent wheezing phenotype demonstrated an association with lowered %V25, elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide levels, and an increased prevalence of sensitization to multiple allergens at age 13 years. Conclusions: The wheezing phenotypes identified in this study displayed distinct characteristics. Importantly, despite the diverse wheezing trajectories observed from birth, adolescents in Tokyo did not exhibit any discernible decline in lung function.
