Secondhand tobacco smoke exposure in low-income children and its association with asthma.
Article in Allergy and asthma proceedings. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) is a common indoor environmental exposure that is particularly prevalent in low-income families. It has been found to be associated with asthma in some studies; however, across all relevant studies, results have been conflicting. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of SHS exposure in the home environment in a low-income, minority population and to determine the association of exposure with childhood asthma, wheeze, and oral corticosteroids use. This retrospective study analyzed self-reported data collected as part of the Kansas City Safe and Healthy Homes Partnership to determine prevalence of SHS exposure. A logistic regression model was then used to assess the association between exposure and asthma, oral steroid use, and wheeze. Overall, 40% of children lived with at least one smoker and 15% of children lived with at least one smoker who smoked inside the house. No significant association was found between asthma or oral corticosteroid use and SHS exposure. Children who lived with a smoker had a 1.54 increased odds of wheeze in the past year. A large percentage of low-income children in the Kansas City area continue to suffer the adverse effects of SHS. These data support the need for innovative public policy to protect children from such exposure in their home environment.
