Real-World Assessment of Asthma Control and Severity in Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Asthma: Relationships to Care Settings and Comorbidities.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundLittle is known about how patient-level factors and care settings relate to asthma outcomes in real-world settings.
objectiveWe therefore examined the rates and relative contributions of comorbidities and care settings in terms of asthma severity and control among pediatric and adolescent/adult patients in a large national sample.
methodsWe examined deidentified patient data from 28,508 unique encounters documented in the Asthma Specialist Tool to Help Manage Asthma and Improve Quality database, obtaining patient-level factors (demographics, asthma characteristics, comorbidities), care setting (primary care physician [PCP] vs specialist physician [allergist or pulmonologist]), and guideline-defined levels of asthma control/severity. Rates of comorbidities were identified by asthma severity and control and by care setting. We calculated odds ratios for asthma control and severity based on each comorbidity.
resultsBaseline demographic data indicated that patients seen by specialists versus PCPs were older, and had more severe and poorly controlled asthma (P < .05). Patients cared for by specialists also had more comorbid conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; P < .01), rhinosinusitis (P < .01), and obstructive sleep apnea (adolescents/adults only: P < .01). GERD, smoke exposure, depression (adolescents/adults), rhinosinusitis (children), and African American race were associated with uncontrolled asthma. Smoke exposure (children), rhinosinusitis, and African American race were associated with severe disease.
conclusionsWe identified several demographics and comorbidities that are independently associated with the specialist care setting, persistent asthma, and poor asthma control. Awareness of these relationships may be helpful for clinicians caring for patients with asthma.
