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: Asthma is a chronic, heterogeneous disease driven by inflammatory phenotypes, primarily eosinophilic asthma (EA) and neutrophilic asthma (NEA). While allergen triggers are well-known, the role of the airway microbiome and metabolites in asthma exacerbations remains poorly understood. Methods: We recruited 64 participants (24 EA, 20 NEA, 20 healthy controls [HC]) for the discovery cohort, with validation in an external cohort (10 EA, 8 NEA, 8 HC). Induced sputum samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing to profile bacterial composition and non-targeted metabolomics to assess airway metabolites. Random forest models identified diagnostic markers, validated in the external cohort. Results: Significant shifts in airway microbiota were observed, particularly between NEA and HC, and between EA and NEA. Four bacterial general- Conclusion: The airway microbiota and metabolites are intricately linked to asthma exacerbations, with distinct patterns between EA and NEA. These findings highlight their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for personalized asthma management.
