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

Background: Small airway dysfunction (SAD) is a key component of asthma pathophysiology that may persist despite adequate treatment. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) provides sensitive detection of peripheral airway abnormalities beyond conventional spirometry. Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) is a widely used once-daily inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β Methods: Patients with asthma who received FF/VI for 12 months were retrospectively reviewed. Pulmonary function tests, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Results: After one year of treatment, mean FEV Conclusion: FF/VI 92/22 μg delivered via the Ellipta device significantly improved spirometric indices and central airway resistance. Improvements in small-airway mechanics were observed in patients with lower eosinophilic inflammation, suggesting that eosinophilic inflammation may be associated with attenuated small airway response. Further prospective studies are warranted to better define the role of inflammatory status in small airway dysfunction and to validate these findings.
