Assessment of ventilation heterogeneity in severe asthma using phase-resolved functional lung magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Physiological reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ventilation heterogeneity is a hallmark of asthma. This study examines the feasibility of phase-resolved functional lung magnetic resonance imaging (PREFUL MRI) in the evaluation of ventilation heterogeneity in severe asthma, its response to bronchodilator, and correlation with spirometry. Twenty-three patients with severe asthma and seven healthy volunteers completed PREFUL MRI and spirometry pre and post-bronchodilator. Ventilation heterogeneity was assessed using ventilation defect percentages (VDP) for regional ventilation (RVent) and flow-volume loop cross-correlation (FVL), interquartile distance (IQD), and inhomogeneity index (IHI). Patients exhibited a significantly higher pre-bronchodilator VDP
