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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between tidal breathing pulmonary function parameters combined with mixed exhaled gas nitric oxide values and the degree of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in children aged 0-3 years with suspected asthma. Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected baseline clinical data, tidal breathing pulmonary function parameters (measured before methacholine inhalation), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels, and methacholine challenge test (MCT) results from 818 pediatric asthma patients treated at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2021 and June 2023. Baseline data, tidal respiratory pulmonary function parameters, and FeNO values were used to analyze their correlation with AHR. Ordinal multiclass logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing AHR. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to evaluate the efficacy of predicting AHR using tidal breathing pulmonary function parameters and FeNO values. Results: Intergroup comparisons showed significant differences in age, weight, height, FeNO, TPTEF/TE, RR, TI/TE, TEF50/TIF50, and PTFE/TEF25 ( Conclusions: Our study revealed that Current airway inflammation and airway obstruction predicted AHR at this point.FeNO, RR, PTEF/TEF25, and age were effective predictive parameters for the degree of AHR in children aged 0-3 years with suspected asthma; FeNO >14 ppb served as an independent factor suggesting AHR in children at methacholine concentrations of 8 mg/ml, and the combined parameters showed better predictive efficacy.
