Food allergy and increased asthma morbidity in a School-based Inner-City Asthma Study.

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
backgroundChildren with asthma have increased prevalence of food allergies. The relationship between food allergy and asthma morbidity is unclear.
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the presence of food allergy as an independent risk factor for increased asthma morbidity by using the School Inner-City Asthma Study, a prospective study that evaluates risk factors and asthma morbidity among urban children.
methodsWe prospectively surveyed, from inner-city schools, 300 children with physician-diagnosed asthma, followed by clinical evaluation. Food allergies were reported, which included symptoms experienced within 1 hour of food ingestion. Asthma morbidity, pulmonary function, and resource utilization were compared between children with food allergies and those without.
resultsSeventy-three of 300 children with asthma (24%) surveyed had physician-diagnosed food allergy, and 36 (12%) had multiple food allergies. Those with any food allergy independently had increased risk of hospitalization (OR [odds ratio] 2.35 [95% CI, 1.30-4.24]; P = .005) and use of controller medication (OR 1.99 [95% CI, 1.06-3.74]; P = .03). Those with multiple food allergies also had an independently higher risk of hospitalization in the past year (OR 4.10 [95% CI, 1.47-11.45]; P = .007), asthma-related hospitalization (OR 3.52 [95% CI, 1.12-11.03]; P = .03), controller medication use (OR 2.38 [95% CI, 1.00-5.66]; P = .05), and more provider visits (median, 4.5 vs 3.0; P = .008). Furthermore, lung function was significantly lower (percent predicted FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratios) in both food allergy category groups.
conclusionsFood allergy is highly prevalent in inner-city school-aged children with asthma. Children with food allergies have increased asthma morbidity and health resource utilization with decreased lung function, and this association is stronger in those with multiple food allergies.
