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

backgroundIn utero mechanisms related to oxidative stress response, inflammation, and extracellular matrix turnover may influence fetal lung development in the offspring of asthmatic mothers. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether levels of cord blood proteins differ between the offspring of asthmatic and nonasthmatic mothers. In addition, we aimed to examine if these proteins are associated with infant lung function, bronchiolitis hospitalization in infancy, and asthma at six years.

methodsWe compared protein levels of infants (n = 715) from the Swiss Basel-Bern Infant Lung Development and the Australian Breathing for Life Trial birth cohorts using Tobit regression and network analyses. Using adjusted linear and logistic regression, we determined their association with postnatal infant lung function, bronchiolitis hospitalization in infancy, and asthma at six years.

resultsInfants born to asthmatic mothers had lower levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9, β-coefficient [β] -0.67, 95% confidence interval [-1.07; -0.27] p

conclusionsProtein levels differed between offspring of asthmatic and non-asthmatic mothers. These markers were associated with postnatal lung function, bronchiolitis hospitalization, and asthma.
