Factors affecting spirometry reference range in growing children.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo find out the association of weight, height and age with spirometry variables and to generate a regression equation by taking weight as an independent variable beside age and height among children and adolescents of Karachi.
methodsA modified form of ISSAC questionnaire was used. The spirometry variables recorded were Forced vital capacity (FVC), Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
resultsThe results reported a linear correlation of lung function variables with all three independent variables (i.e. p-value = 0.000), in which age and height manifested a strong positive correlation while weight reported a moderately significant correlation. All spirometry variables such as FVC, FEV
conclusionIt is concluded that beside age, height and weight both also have significant correlation with lung volumes so these should be taken into account when using spirometry as a diagnostic test.
