Prevalence and mechanisms of development of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness in athletes.
Review in Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
A high prevalence of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) has been reported in the athlete population. Factors potentially predisposing athletes to these conditions have not been clearly identified. Although moderate exercise has been shown to be beneficial in patients with asthma, repeated high-intensity exercise could possibly contribute to the development of asthma and AHR. This report provides an overview of the prevalence and possible mechanisms of development of asthma and AHR in the athlete population. The prevalence of asthma and AHR are higher in athletes than in the general population, particularly in swimmers and athletes performing sports in cold air environments. Possible mechanisms involved in the development of asthma in athletes are still uncertain; however, the content and physical characteristics of the inhaled air seem to be important factors, while immune and neurohumoral influences could play a modulatory role. This report stresses the need for further studies to better define the aetiologic factors and mechanisms involved in the development of asthma and AHR in athletes, and proposes relevant preventive and therapeutic measures.
