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

introductionA recent study on BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice demonstrated a clear lack of association between the in vivo response to nebulized methacholine and the degree of airway narrowing ex vivo in a model of asthma induced by a daily exposure to house dust mite over 10 consecutive days. This finding raises the question of which factors determine the methacholine response in vivo.

methodsHerein, multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine which baseline physiological characteristics are associated with the methacholine response.

resultsAmong the 10 baseline characteristics studied, and depending on how the methacholine response was monitored during a concentration-response, lung tissue compliance was the most commonly and robustly associated with the methacholine response. Inspiratory capacity was the second most frequently associated.

conclusionThese results suggest that lung tissue compliance and inspiratory capacity may be two important determinants of the methacholine response in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice with and without experimental asthma.
