The prevalence of childhood asthma in Saudi Arabia.
Review in International journal of pediatrics & adolescent medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Asthma is considered one of the most important health issues worldwide. However, few epidemiological studies have been conducted in Saudi Arabia to assess the prevalence of asthma among children, and their results are highly variable. Thus, in this study, we investigated the prevalence of childhood asthma in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies of the prevalence of childhood asthma in Saudi Arabia were reviewed and 12 were included in this review. These studies were conducted at various locations in Saudi Arabia between 1986 and 2017. The prevalence of children asthma in Saudi Arabia varies among different regions throughout the country. The highest prevalence was reported in Alhofuf (33.7%) and the lowest in Abha (9%). However, various surveying methods were used and different age groups were assessed. This review highlights the need to conduct a national-level study using a single validated tool to assess the prevalence of childhood asthma in Saudi Arabia in order to calculate the burden of asthma and determine the targeted allocation of resources and manpower.
