Temporal trends and factors associated with pediatric hospitalizations with respiratory infection.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesAsthma is the leading cause of emergency room visits in children, and those with asthma tend to suffer from more severe consequences of respiratory tract infections. The aims of this study were among children who required hospitalization, compare differences between those admitted with or without respiratory infection, describe changes in yearly proportion of asthma among the children admitted with a respiratory infection in New York City from 2006 to 2012 and ascertain how asthma affected the average length of hospital stay for those with respiratory infection.
methodsWe conducted an historical prospective study using data obtained from multiple electronic sources of patients discharged from a 200-bed pediatric hospital in a major metropolitan healthcare system between 2006 and 2012. Patient characteristics were obtained from electronic health records and billing codes.
resultsAmong 83,348 patient discharges, there were 5057 (6.1%) with a respiratory infection. In the multivariable model, children with the following characteristics were significantly more likely to be admitted with a respiratory infection as compared with other diagnoses: asthma [odds ratio (OR) 4.68 (95% confidence limits (CL): 4.31, 5.08], male sex [OR:1.11 (1.05, 1.18)], prior hospitalization [OR: 3.65 (3.43, 3.89)], renal failure [(OR: 2.14 (1.70, 2.70)] and Medicaid coverage [OR: 1.93 (1.81, 2.05)]. Children aged ≥ 5 years (OR: 0.44 (0.41, 0.47) and those with diabetes (OR: 0.32 (0.21, 0.51) were less likely to be admitted with a respiratory infection. Hospitalized patients with respiratory infection and asthma, identified by ICD-9 codes, had significantly shorter lengths of stay than patients without asthma, 5.3 and 9.0 days, respectively, p < 0.001. Asthma in patients admitted with a respiratory infection increased from 19.2% in 2006 to 28.2% in 2012, peaking at 34.1% in 2010 (p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study suggests that asthma is a significant risk factor for hospitalization of children with respiratory infection, and suggests that the prevalence of asthma is increasing over time among children hospitalized with respiratory infection in this urban setting.
