Factors associated with in-school physical activity among urban children with asthma.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01873755 (Addressing Barriers to Physical Activity in Inner-City Schoolchildren With Asthma), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
objectiveA cross-sectional study was conducted to determine if in-school physical activity (PA) varied by age, gender, weight and asthma status, participation in physical education (PE), outdoor recess, and other in-school PA among urban schoolchildren with asthma.
methodsPA was measured by tri-axial accelerometers. Height and mass were measured and overweight defined as BMI ≥85th percentile. Asthma impairment and risk were assessed as per national guidelines, and asthma status variable with three categories (mild, moderate, and severe) was created. Multivariable generalized linear mixed models adjusting for clustering due to school and student were fitted to identify variables predictive of PA.
results108 children with asthma participated. Children spent 374 minutes in school, of which 253 minutes were sedentary, 105 minutes in light PA, and 16 minutes in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Only 3 participants reached the recommended ≥30 minutes/day of MVPA. Multivariable analysis revealed age, gender, participation in PE class, outdoor recess, and other in-school PA as independent predictors of PA. BMI and asthma status were not associated with PA.
conclusionsChildren with asthma were mostly sedentary at school. Older children and girls were particularly at risk for inactivity. PE, recess, and other in-school PA participation are modifiable factors that should be targeted in school-based interventions aimed at increasing PA in this population.
