Lessons for primary prevention of asthma: foreign-born children have less association of SES and pests with asthma diagnosis.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
There are no proven interventions for primary prevention of asthma. As asthma prevalence varies globally, comparing asthma in native and foreign-born children might provide insights. We pooled data from five cross sectional asthma surveys (N = 962). Place of birth was associated with asthma (OR = 3.4, P < 0.001). In children not born in the US, lower socio-economic status had no significant effect on asthma (OR = 0.71, P = 0.53), while for children born in the US, the effect was significant (OR = 2.1, P = 0.001). The odds ratio for exposure to household pests was significant (OR = 1.6, P < 0.008) for children born in the US but was non-significant for children born outside the US (OR = 0.29, P = 0.11). Our findings are consistent with foreign-born children experiencing protective factors or US born children experiencing detrimental environmental exposures.
