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: Neural mechanisms are important in asthma, and serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a biomarker of neuronal damage. This study investigated the correlation between sNfL and asthma. Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on NHANES data and used multiple logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and smoothed curve fitting to explore the relationship between sNfL and asthma. Covariate selection was validated using the variance inflation factor (VIF). Results: The study involved 1773 participants. Results showed that Ln-sNfL (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.03-1.88, Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between sNFL and asthma, and further large-scale and prospective studies are needed to replicate our results and assess the ability of sNfL to predict asthma.
