Health-related quality of life among adults with work-related asthma in the United States.
Article in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeThe objective of this study was to examine health-related quality of life among adults with work-related asthma.
methodsWe analyzed 2006-2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Asthma Call-back Survey data for ever-employed adults with current asthma from 38 states and District of Columbia. Individuals with work-related asthma had been told by a doctor or other health professional that their asthma was related to any job they ever had. Health-related quality of life indicators included poor self-rated health, impaired physical health, impaired mental health, and activity limitation. We calculated prevalence ratios (PRs) adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, income, employment, and health insurance.
resultsOf ever-employed adults with current asthma, an estimated 9.0% had work-related asthma, 26.9 % had poor self-rated health, 20.6% had impaired physical health, 18.2% had impaired mental health, and 10.2% had activity limitation. Individuals with work-related asthma were significantly more likely than those with non-work-related asthma to have poor self-rated health [PR, 1.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.31-1.60], impaired physical health (PR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.42-1.80), impaired mental health (PR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.34-1.80), and activity limitation (PR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.81-2.56).
conclusionsFuture research should examine opportunities to improve health-related quality of life among individuals with work-related asthma.
