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

backgroundBronchodilator response (BDR) is a key clinical feature in childhood asthma, but its relation to asthma pathophysiology is not fully understood. This study examines the associations between BDR, disease control, and serum cytokines/chemokines in children with moderate-to-severe asthma (MSA).

methodsBDR was assessed in 140 children (aged 6-17 years, 41% females) from the SysPharmPediA cohort using the ERS/ATS 2022 guidelines (ΔFEV

resultsChildren with high BDR (21%) had significantly higher odds of uncontrolled asthma (adjusted OR ≈ 3.22, 95% CIs: 1.07-11.3) and more frequent severe exacerbations in the past year compared with those with low BDR (70% vs. 46%, p < .05). High-BDR children showed elevated serum levels of IL-13, IL-4, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-1β, and MMP-1 (q < 0.05).

conclusionIn children with MSA, a high BDR is independently associated with poorer asthma control and a distinct systemic inflammatory profile involving T2 and non-T2 mediators. BDR may serve as a marker for asthma phenotyping.
