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 is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable airway obstruction. In some patients with severe disease there are frequent disease flares, and some individuals develop irreversible airway obstruction. The immune system has a predominant effect on many aspects of the disease. A large proportion of people with asthma have signs of type 2 immunity, rich in eosinophils, mast cells and basophils, and controlled by either type 2 helper T cells or type 2 innate lymphoid cells. Other patients have a more neutrophil-predominant disease, and some have little underlying immune dysfunction. Here we review the immunology of asthma by integrating data from mouse model studies with clinical intervention studies.
