Low fitness and increased sedentary time are associated with worse asthma-The National Youth Fitness Survey.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAsthma is the most common chronic illness in children and is independently impacted by obesity and by fitness. The National Youth Fitness Survey collected data on aerobic fitness, body composition, and health outcomes in children 6 to 11 years old. The goal of this study is to test hypotheses regarding relationships between asthma, aerobic fitness, and sedentary time in this uniquely studied cohort of young children.
methodsA total of 665 children (6-11 years old; 49% male) were included in analyses. We explored relationships between asthma outcomes and aerobic fitness (measured by endurance time), self-reported sedentary time, and body mass index categories. Fitness was categorized as unfit (lowest 25% of endurance times) or fit. Multivariate logistic regression models were created for asthma outcomes and adjusted for race, age, sex, poverty status, and overweight/obesity.
resultsAmong the participants, 17.9% had a previous history of asthma and 11.4% had current asthma. Additionally, 37.3% of participants were overweight or obese. Low fitness was significantly associated with increased odds of past asthma, current asthma, asthma attacks, wheeze with exercise, and wheeze with activity limitations in multivariate models. Increased sedentary time was significantly associated with increased odds of previous asthma, current asthma, asthma attacks, and wheeze with activity limitations.
conclusionDecreased aerobic fitness and increased sedentary time were associated with worse asthma outcomes in this group of children (6-11 years old). This data suggest that fitness and sedentary time, both modifiable factors, each have an independent effect on asthma and should be included in assessments and management of asthma health.
