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 and Aim: Adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) is essential for asthma control, yet little is known about whether adherence differs across inflammatory phenotypes. Patients with type 2 (T2)-low biomarkers have reduced corticosteroid responsiveness, which may influence adherence. We aimed to evaluate adherence to ICS across inflammatory phenotypes and to examine whether associations between adherence and clinical risk factors differ by inflammatory phenotype. Material and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult asthma patients managed at a respiratory outpatient clinic between May 2020 and May 2022. Inflammatory phenotype was defined using blood eosinophils (cut-off 0.15×10 Results: Of 960 phenotyped patients (165 T2-low, 538 possible T2-high, 257 T2-high), 484 were included in the adherence analysis. Adherence did not differ significantly between phenotypes, although patients with T2-low asthma showed a tendency towards lower adherence (0.66) than patients with possible T2-high and T2-high asthma (both 0.74). Across phenotypes, increasing age was associated with higher odds of good adherence (OR 1.25, p <0.001). Among male patients, those with T2-high (OR 0.13, p = 0.022) and possible T2-high (OR 0.14, p = 0.023) phenotypes had lower odds of good adherence than those with T2-low phenotype. Conclusion: In patients with asthma, adherence to ICS did not differ significantly across inflammatory phenotypes, although patients with T2-low asthma tended to show lower adherence. Among males, adherence varied by phenotype, with T2-high and possible T2-high asthma associated with lower odds of good adherence.
