Exercise-induced asthma in asthmatic children of southern Iran.
Article in Global journal of health science, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAsthma is a common illness, especially among children. Exercise-induced asthma is an important consideration, both as a factor, limiting physical activity of patients, and also as an indicator of poor long term control. We investigated pre-Valence of exercise-induced asthma in a group of asthmatic children living in southern Iran.
methodsWe conducted treadmill exercise challenge test in 40 young asthmatic patients aged 6 to 18. After 8 minutes exercise to achieve 80% of maximum heart rate predicted for age, patients were examined and spirometry values recorded at frequent intervals. We defined exercise-induced asthma as 10% or more decline in Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) within 30 minutes after exercise challenge.
resultsOf 40 patients evaluated, 22 patients ( 55% of total ) met our criteria for exercise-induced asthma. Most positive responses (7 of 22, 31.8%) occurred at about 10 minutes after exercise. Cough was the most consistent sign (18 of 22 patients, 81%). In 2 patients (9%), FEV 1 decline did not accompany any symptom or sign.
conclusionWe concluded that Exercise- induced asthma occurs in a relatively smaller subset of southern Iranian asthmatic children. Also treadmill exercise challenge performed by a trained staff, following standard protocol and using enough monitoring and precautions is safe and diagnostic in children and adolescents.
