1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundInner-city children are disproportionately affected by asthma and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, little is known about the association of SDB symptoms with asthma morbidity in this vulnerable population.

objectiveAssess the relationship between snoring frequency and asthma morbidity.

methodsThis study was part of the School Inner-City Asthma Study, a longitudinal prospective cohort study of children with persistent asthma who attended schools in the Northeast United States from 2008 to 2013. Participants had baseline assessments of asthma symptoms, snoring, and allergy status. Caregivers completed quarterly surveys for 12 months on symptoms of asthma, snoring, and health care outcomes. Snoring frequency (non-, rare-, sometimes-, habitual-snoring) and its relationship with asthma symptoms and asthma morbidity were assessed by mixed-effects models.

resultsThere were 1186 observations from 339 subjects. Mean age was 7.9 years; roughly half were male, and most were of minority race. Half were overweight or obese, and 65.5% had atopy. At initial snoring assessment, 24.8% reported habitual snoring, but report of snoring frequency varied over the study period. Multivariate analyses revealed increased odds of maximum asthma symptom days for habitual snoring compared with nonsnoring (1.58; 95% CI, 1.19-2.10; P < .002) and all other snoring categories. Habitual snoring was associated with greater odds of health care utilization (incidence rate ratio, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.10-2.69; P = .02) and worse asthma control (odds ratio, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.05-2.11; P = .03) compared with nonsnoring.

conclusionsSnoring is common among inner-city school-age children with asthma, and habitual snoring is associated with increased asthma symptom burden and health care utilization.
