Risk factors for recurrent respiratory tract infection in preschool-aged children.
Article in Pediatric research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundWe aimed to identify potential risk factors for recurrent respiratory tract infection among Chinese preschool-aged children, and further to construct a nomogram prediction model.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional survey conducted in Beijing. Utilizing a stratified cluster random sampling strategy, a total of 7222 children from 20 kindergartens were enrolled. Data are analyzed by STATA software and R language.
resultsFive independent factors were identified to be significantly associated with recurrent respiratory tract infection risk overall and by pathogenic sites. The significant odds of recurrent respiratory tract infection was 8.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.69-12.12, P < 0.001), 2.31 (2.06-2.58, P < 0.001), 1.72 (1.48-1.99, P < 0.001), 1.24 (1.08-1.43, P = 0.002), and 1.19 (1.09-1.31, P < 0.001) for asthma, allergy, initial use of antibiotics <6 months, breastfeeding duration <6 months, and maternal body mass index, respectively. Besides the leading role played by asthma, allergy, initial use of antibiotics, and breastfeeding might exert a graded, dose-dependent effect on recurrent respiratory tract infection susceptibility.
conclusionsWe have identified five potential risk factors for the risk of recurrent respiratory tract infection from 7222 preschool-aged Chinese children. Notably, asthma plays a leading role, and allergy, initial use of antibiotics, and breastfeeding might exert a graded, dose-dependent effect on recurrent respiratory tract infection susceptibility. IMPACT: This is the first report of examining the joint contribution of multiple potential risk factors to recurrent respiratory tract infection among Chinese preschool-aged children. We have identified five potential risk factors for the risk of recurrent respiratory tract infection via analyzing survey data from 7222 preschool-aged Chinese children. Asthma plays a leading role, and allergy, initial use of antibiotics, and breastfeeding might exert a graded, dose-dependent effect on recurrent respiratory tract infection susceptibility.
