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

purposeFew studies have compared the clinical characteristics of severe asthma (SA) in elderly patients compared to that in nonelderly patients.

methodsWe analyzed data from the Korean SA Registry, a nationwide, real-world observational study of SA in Korea. The baseline clinical characteristics, disease control status, and medication use of the patients were compared between elderly (≥ 65 years) and nonelderly groups.

resultsOf the 864 patients with SA, 260 (30.1%) were in the elderly group. The elderly group had lower atopy rate, but had higher prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, and osteoporosis than did the nonelderly group. The elderly group had a lower rate of type 2 inflammation and lower levels of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (% predicted) and FEV1/forced vital capacity ratio than did the nonelderly group (

conclusionsSA in the elderly is characterized by lower lung function, less type 2-low airway inflammation, and comorbidity with COPD. These findings are being taken into consideration in the management of elderly patients with SA in real-world clinical practice.
