Ambient Air Pollution and Variation in Multiple Domains of Asthma Morbidity among Peruvian Children.

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
rationaleA large portion of asthma morbidity occurs in low- and middle-income countries, and Peru suffers particularly high asthma prevalence. Ambient air exposures are also high, and likely play a role. Most studies of environmental exposures focus on understanding contributors to health care utilization or mortality risk; however, less severe outcomes may still impact quality of life (QOL).
objectivesTo study the association between multiple pollutants and several asthma domains in Peruvian children.
methodsA total of 484 children aged 9-19 years with asthma were followed for 6-9 months, and evaluated for asthma control, asthma-related QOL, missed school days, and health care utilization. We used geographically distributed monitors to estimate air pollutant concentrations and multivariable generalized linear mixed models to model asthma outcomes as a function of pollutants.
resultsA total of 67% of children had moderate to severe persistent asthma. In multipollutant models, higher particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM
conclusionsOur study highlights the importance of pollutant exposures on multiple domains of asthma morbidity among Peruvian children, including not only acute exacerbations, but also on general asthma burden, such as worse asthma symptom control and QOL.
