Clinical Characteristics of Geriatric Asthma in Guangxi of China: A Retrospective Comparative Descriptive Study.
Article in Aging medicine (Milton (N.S.W)), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: The research analyzed the clinical characteristics of geriatric and nongeriatric asthma cases, aiming to provide new insights into the diagnosis and management of geriatric asthma for clinicians. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University database (2012-2022), including 130 geriatric (≥ 65 years) and 130 nongeriatric (18-64 years) asthma patients. Both cohorts were stratified into fixed (FAO) and reversible (RAO) airflow obstruction subgroups based on spirometry-confirmed airflow limitation patterns. Demographic and clinical symptom data were extracted from electronic health records. Results: Geriatric asthmatics are mainly characterized by a greater prevalence in females ( Conclusions: Geriatric asthmatics exhibit more comorbidities, poorer lung function, higher neutrophil ratios, and elevated CRP levels. They also experience longer hospital stays and are likely to be sensitized to dust or irritant gases. A longer duration of asthma significantly increases the risk of developing FAO in geriatric asthmatics.
