It's not all about small airways disease: key limitations of oscillometry interpretation.
Review in Frontiers in allergy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
An exciting aspect of oscillometry is the ability to detect small airways disease (SAD), particularly through frequency dependence of resistance, commonly measured as R5-R20. While SAD influences oscillometry measurements, it is important to realize that oscillometry is not specific for SAD. In addition, oscillometry measurements do not take into account lung volume, which can influence the measurements and make interpretation less clear. Finally, while oscillometry is very sensitive at detecting abnormalities of lung function, it is not specific for distinct lung diseases. These limitations should be considered when using oscillometry in respiratory physiology and medicine, where oscillometry provides valuable complimentary information to other lung function tests in evaluation of lung health.
