Differential change was calculated as the difference from baseline in the CART condition (eg, 1MFU − baseline) minus the difference from baseline for the SLOW condition; higher numbers indicate greater increases in CART vs SLOW. Feno = fraction of exhaled nitric oxide; PC20 = provocation concentration of methacholine leading to a 20% fall in FEV1; PEF = peak expiratory flow. See Table 1 and 2 legends for expansion of other abbreviations.
