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

Asthma prevalence and severity differs between male and female individuals across the lifespan. Prepubescent boys are more likely to experience asthma, but girls are disproportionately affected after puberty, with greater symptom burden and decreased type 2 inflammation. However, because the human male and female genomes are almost identical, it is especially difficult to identify differentially expressed genes by sex to account for differences in disease susceptibility and manifestations without large sample sizes. Although several genes and genetic polymorphisms lead to sex-specific effects in asthma risk, the effects of sex-biased gene expression on clinical features within patients with asthma remain understudied. In this study, we characterized gene expression differences between female and male individuals through meta-analysis of transcriptomes of blood samples from adult patients with and without asthma in a large gene expression database (
