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.
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
backgroundAsthma prevalence is increasing among older adults globally, yet mortality risk factors remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to identify key mortality risk factors in older adults with asthma and develop a validated survival prediction model to guide clinical decision-making.
methodsUsing two longitudinal cohorts (SHARE and CHARLS), we included 1,584 older adults with asthma. Risk factors were identified through comprehensive analysis including permutation-based feature importance, concordance index variation curves, and survival model comparison. Five machine learning algorithms were developed and compared using concordance index (C-index). The optimal model was evaluated using integrated brier score, time-dependent area under the curve (td-AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis quantified individual risk factor contributions, and subgroup survival analyses validated risk factor associations. A nomogram and web-based clinical tool were developed.
resultsDuring follow-up, 311 deaths occurred in SHARE (10-year mortality: 27.99%) and 183 in CHARLS (38.69%). Six key mortality risk factors were identified: advanced age, higher frailty index, male, reduced PEF%pred, lower BMI, and cardiovascular disease. The Cox proportional hazards model achieved optimal performance with C-index of 0.774 (training), 0.771 (testing), and 0.743 (external validation). SHAP analysis revealed advanced age, frailty index, and male as the strongest risk predictors. Subgroup analyses in the SHARE cohort demonstrated significant survival differences for all six risk factors (P < 0.0001), while the CHARLS cohort showed consistent trends but with some variation in statistical significance across subgroups.
conclusionsSix clinical variables effectively predict mortality risk in older adults with asthma. This survival prediction model enables risk stratification and identification of high-risk patients who may benefit from intensified monitoring and targeted interventions. The findings provide new insights into mortality risk factors and offer a practical tool for personalized management of asthma in older adults.
