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: Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease in childhood, and effective control of airway inflammation is crucial in its management. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and fractional nasally exhaled nitric oxide (FnNO) are non-invasive biomarkers that reflect airway inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate the role of FeNO and FnNO in assessing asthma control status and to explore their correlation with pulmonary function parameters in pediatric patients. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. A total of 88 children with asthma were classified into three groups based on Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) scores: the control group, the partial control group, and the poor control group. FeNO, FnNO, and pulmonary function tests were measured and compared across the three groups. The correlation between FeNO/FnNO levels and pulmonary function indices was also analyzed. Results: The levels of FeNO and FnNO were significantly higher in the poor control group compared with those in the partial control and the control groups ( Conclusion: Although FeNO and FnNO levels differed significantly among asthma control groups, no significant correlation was observed between these biomarkers and pulmonary function parameters. These findings suggest that FeNO and FnNO should be used together to assess asthma control status, but they may not directly reflect changes in pulmonary function in children with asthma.
