Well-Child Care Attendance and Risk of Asthma Exacerbations.
Article in Pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 remains a leading cause of hospitalization in US children. Well-child care (WCC) visits are routinely recommended, but how WCC adherence relates to asthma outcomes is poorly described.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective longitudinal cohort study using electronic health records among 5 to 17 year old children residing in Durham County with confirmed asthma and receiving primary care within a single health system, to compare the association between asthma exacerbations and previous WCC exposure. Exacerbations included any
resultsA total of 5656 children met eligibility criteria and were included in the primary analysis. Patients with the highest WCC visit attendance tended to be younger, had a higher prevalence of private insurance, had greater asthma medication usage, and were less likely to be obese. The presence of a WCC visit in the previous 12 months was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause exacerbations (hazard ratio: 0.90; 95% confidence interval: 0.83-0.98) and severe exacerbations requiring hospital admission (hazard ratio: 0.53; 95% confidence interval: 0.39-0.71).
conclusionsWCC visits were associated with a lower risk of subsequent severe exacerbations, including asthma-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Poor WCC visit adherence predicts pediatric asthma morbidity, especially exacerbations requiring hospitalization.
