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

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have long been debated regarding their similarities and differences in clinical presentation and pathology. There has also been a discussion about how common therapeutics should be used differently for each disease. Traditionally, a "one size fits all" stepwise treatment has been chosen based on the severity of each case after categorizing the diseases, such as asthma or COPD. However, recently, the need for a precise approach for the treatment of individual patients beyond the disease category has been emphasized, especially in severe cases. To achieve precise personalized therapy, it has become necessary to focus on the individual phenotypes and underlying causal molecular mechanisms (endotypes) and to identify key therapeutic targets, which are called treatable traits. This review discusses the evidence for the importance of identifying treatable traits and therapeutic strategies based on the broader perspective of chronic obstructive airway disease rather than on individual diseases such as asthma or COPD.
