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

Aim: The research objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using montelukast sodium alongside budesonide/formoterol in individuals with obstructive airway diseases. Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted on 100 obstructive airway disease patients who had received treatment of budesonide/formoterol inhalation powder (control group, Results: With a total effective rate of 94.00%, the observation group showed a significant improvement in comparison to the control group, which achieved 80% effectiveness ( Conclusions: Montelukast sodium in conjunction with budesonide/formoterol presents a pronounced advantage in effectiveness and safety for treating obstructive airway diseases in individuals. It effectively alleviates symptoms, enhances pulmonary function, and diminishes inflammation, offering critical insights for clinical management.
