The Measurement of Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis Control in Children and Adolescents.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) are frequently associated. The objective of the treatment of asthma and AR should be the control of symptoms and disease progression. Therefore, the combined measurement of disease control is desirable. In this regard, a questionnaire able to together assess asthma and AR control has been validated: the CARAT (Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test). A further pediatric version (CARATkids) has been generated. The current real-world study used different disease control measures in children and adolescents with asthma and rhinitis. A total of 138 children and adolescents were recruited at three allergy centers. CARAT, CARATkids, ACT (Asthma Control Test), cACT (children ACT), GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) disease control classification, VAS (Visual Analog Scale) for asthma and nasal symptoms, and lung function were used in all subjects. There was a predominance of males (67.4%) and asthma was well-controlled (according to GINA classification) in about half the subjects. In children, the median CARAT and cACT values were 5 and 22 respectively. In adolescents, the median CARAT and ACT values were 23 for both tests. There were significant differences between CARAT and ACT (
