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: Exploring the characteristics of serum inflammatory cytokine changes during acute exacerbations of pediatric allergic asthma, and analyzing factors influencing poor asthma control and predictive indicators. Methods: Forty children with acute exacerbations of allergic asthma, either outpatients or inpatients, were selected as the observation group, and 40 healthy children undergoing physical examinations during the same period served as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the characteristics of blood inflammatory cytokines in both groups. Logistic multiple regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of poor asthma control, and ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the indicators for predicting poor asthma control. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13,IFN-γ, TNF-α, as well as the ratios of IL-2/IL-4, IL-2/IL-5, IL-2/IL-10, IL-2/IL-13, IFN-γ/IL-4, IFN-γ/IL-5, IFN-γ/IL-13, TNF-α/IL-4, TNF-α/IL-5, TNF-α/IL-6, TNF-α/IL-13 in the peripheral serum, and the expression of CD86, CD206, and CD86/CD206 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) between the observation group and the control group ( Conclusions: In pediatric allergic asthma exacerbations, there is a decrease in the activity of Th1 cytokines and an increase in the activity of Th2 cytokines in the peripheral blood, accompanied by enhanced polarization of macrophages towards the M2 phenotype. Respiratory infections and irregular use of ICS are independent risk factors for poor asthma control, whereas SCIT is an independent protective factor against poor asthma control. IL-13 has high accuracy in predicting poor asthma control.
