Prevalence of bronchial asthma and its associated risk factors in school-going adolescents in Tier-III North Indian City.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAsthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and a major health problem not only in India but globally. Despite multifold increase in prevalence, there is paucity of data on bronchial asthma from non-metro cities. The objectives were to find prevalence of bronchial asthma and various risk factors that are associated in this age group and determine the extent of under diagnosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 927 students from four government and three private schools was conducted using International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire.
resultsPrevalence of bronchial asthma in adolescents was 13.1% (
conclusionThe study shows higher prevalence of bronchial asthma in school-going population (11-16 years) compared to other parts of Northern India possibly attributable to rapid industrialization and post harvesting season when the study was carried out. Preventive interventions need to be taken to reduce disease burden at community level.
