Innate Immune System Biomarkers in Asthma in Older Age: A Mini Review.
Review in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
Asthma in older adults represents a growing and underrecognized clinical challenge, characterized by increased morbidity, mortality, and complex immunological alterations associated with aging. Although the global literature on asthma immunopathogenesis continues to expand rapidly, particularly in the areas of immunosenescence, inflammaging, and biomarker discovery, a focused synthesis of innate immune mechanisms specific to older populations remains limited. Epidemiological data indicate that asthma prevalence in individuals aged≥60 years ranges from 4% to 13%, yet this group accounts for a disproportionate share of asthma-related mortality. Age-associated physiological changes, comorbidities, and frequent underdiagnosis contribute to poorer outcomes. Emerging evidence from academic research centers highlights profound age-related alterations in epithelial integrity, neutrophil and macrophage function, cytokine regulation, and innate immune receptor signaling, resulting in asthma phenotypes that differ fundamentally from those seen in younger patients. In parallel, advances in biomarker research (including inflammatory mediators, cellular signatures, and epigenetic markers) offer new opportunities for improved phenotyping and precision management in elderly asthma. This mini-review synthesizes contemporary findings from reputable academic studies to summarize key innate immune alterations and candidate biomarkers relevant to asthma in older adults. By consolidating current evidence within a rapidly evolving field, this review aims to provide a clinically meaningful framework for researchers and clinicians seeking to better understand immune aging in asthma and to guide future investigation and targeted therapeutic strategies.
