Allergic sensitization and objective measures of sleep in urban school-aged children with asthma.
Article in Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 2017. 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
backgroundAllergic sensitization is associated with increased child asthma morbidity and decreased pulmonary function. Nocturnal symptoms and/or awakenings typically are measured by self-report from diary data, whereas objective assessments of sleep in child asthma studies are lacking.
objectiveTo investigate the association between increased allergic sensitization (number of positive allergy test results measured by skin prick test or specific immunoglobulin E) and sleep outcomes (sleep efficiency, sleep duration, and mean number of awakenings measured by actigraphy) in urban schoolchildren with persistent asthma.
methodsOne hundred ninety-six children with persistent asthma (7-9 years old) attending public school in 1 of 4 large urban school districts completed allergy testing during a study clinic visit. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second was monitored at home using a handheld spirometer. Sleep outcomes were measured with a wrist Actiwatch during a 1-month period in the fall and winter seasons.
resultsNumber of positive allergy test results significantly predicted mean sleep efficiency (P = .02), such that children with more positive test results experienced less efficient sleep. Number of positive allergy test results significantly predicted mean number of night awakenings (P = .05), such that children with more positive allergy test results experienced more night awakenings. Variability in forced expiratory volume in 1 second was a significant moderator in the association between number of positive allergy test results and variability in sleep efficiency (P = .04). Racial and ethnic differences in allergic sensitization and sleep outcomes were found between African Americans and Latinos.
conclusionMore positive allergy test results were associated with poorer sleep outcomes measured objectively in this sample of urban children. Implications for environmental control interventions and asthma treatments in different racial and ethnic groups are discussed.
