Asthma and Physical Activity in Urban Children.
Article in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesAsthma and obesity disproportionately affect urban minority children. Avoidance of physical activity contributes to obesity, and urban children with asthma are at risk for lower levels of physical activity. We examined associations between lung function and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and moderators of this association in a diverse sample of children with asthma.
methodsUrban children (N = 142) ages 7-9 with persistent asthma and their caregivers completed a study of asthma and physical activity. Longitudinal mixed effects models examining daily-level asthma and physical activity evaluated the association between asthma and MVPA, and the moderating effect of weight, and cultural/contextual factors on this association.
resultsAverage daily MVPA was below recommended guidelines. Differences in MVPA were found by racial/ethnic group (p = .04) and weight (p = .001). Poorer asthma status was associated with lower MVPA in Latino and Black participants (p's < .05), and in normal weight youth (p = .01). Body mass index (BMI) moderated the association between asthma and MVPA. Those with lower BMI had more optimal asthma status and higher MVPA levels, whereas associations attenuated for participants with higher BMI (p = .04). Caregivers' perceptions of neighborhood safety and fear of asthma were marginally associated with children's symptoms and MVPA: as perceptions of safety decreased and fear increased, associations between asthma and MVPA weakened (p's = .09 and .07, respectively).
conclusionsSuboptimal asthma status is associated with less MVPA in urban children. Weight status and cultural/contextual factors play a role in the association and are worthy targets for future research and intervention.
