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

Limited evidence exists on age-related differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient-reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs/PREMs) among asthma patients. This study analysed data from 765 adults in the German PROMchronic trial, comparing generic HRQoL, asthma-control, and PREMs across age groups (18-44, 45-64, 65-74, ≥75 years), with analyses stratified by gender. Older adults, particularly women aged 65-74 years, reported slightly higher HRQoL (p = 0.004, η² = 0.017), and ≥75 aged reported better asthma control scores (p = 0.012, Cliffs Delta = 0.261). Categorical asthma control and most PREM domains did not differ significantly. Organisational aspects of care were rated more favourably by adults aged 65-74 years (p = 0.040, Cramér's V = 0.104), especially women. Age-related differences in PROMs and PREMs were small. These findings suggest subtle but relevant patterns in patient-reported quality of asthma care and support age-sensitive, patient-centred approaches in primary care.
