Associations of asthma with body mass index and adult weight change among reproductive age women.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the cross-sectional relationship between asthma and pre-gravid body mass index (BMI), and to assess the risk of adult weight change among women with history of asthma diagnosed in childhood or adulthood, respectively. STUDY
designStudy participants were 3737 pregnant women enrolled in a cohort study. Information on history of asthma, pre-gravid BMI, adult weight change (difference between BMI at age 18 and pre-gravid BMI), and other sociodemographic characteristics was collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires. Pre-gravid BMI was categorized into lean (BMI < 18.5 kg/m(2)), overweight (BMI = 25-24.9 kg/m(2)), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2)). Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsApproximately 13.1% of study participants reported history of asthma. Compared with the reference group (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2)), the odds of asthma was higher among overweight (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.18-1.93) and obese (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.06-2.03) women while it was lower among lean women (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.21-0.84) (trend p-value <.001). Women who gained ≥20 kg compared with those who maintained their weight (±2.5 kg) had a 2.7-fold increased odds of asthma (95% CI = 1.02-7.00).
conclusionsOverweight and obese women were more likely to have a history of asthma. Adult weight gain was positively associated with asthma diagnosis. Longitudinal studies designed to prospectively assess patterns of adult weight change in relation to asthma are warranted.
