Association of childhood croup and increased incidence of airway hyperreactivity in adulthood.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSome evidence suggests that childhood croup could be associated with increased incidence of adulthood bronchial reactivity, but its significance is uncertain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of early life croup. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis case-control study was conducted in 2010-2012 in Isfahan, Iran. The case group consisted of 164 adolescents with a history of severe croup in early life and an equal number of healthy controls without any history of croup or other chronic or recurrent respiratory diseases. The two groups were compared according to pulmonary function tests and bronchial reactivity (exercise challenge test). Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software package, version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
resultsBaseline spirometric values (forced expiratory volume in 1
conclusionOur findings suggest that childhood croup might be a predisposing factor for bronchial hyperreactivity in adulthood. Longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm the clinical significance of these findings.
