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

Obesity is a risk factor for increased prevalence and severity of asthma, particularly in females. As adults, females have an increased prevalence of asthma compared with males. Yet, the mechanisms remain unclear on how sex hormones and obesity increase airway inflammation. We hypothesize that estrogen signaling through estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) in T cells increased airway inflammation in the context of obesity. To test our hypothesis, we utilized a high-fat diet on female and male mice that underwent ovariectomy or gonadectomy or in
