Obesity, tidal volume, and pulmonary deposition of fine particulate matter in children with asthma.
Article in The European respiratory journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundObese children with asthma are more vulnerable to air pollution, especially fine particulate matter (PM
objectiveTo investigate the association of BMI with breathing patterns and deposition of inhaled PM
methodsBaseline data from a prospective study of children with asthma were analysed (n=174). Tidal breathing was measured by a pitot-tube flowmeter, from which tidal volume, respiratory rate and minute ventilation were obtained. The association of BMI z-score with breathing patterns was estimated in a multivariable model adjusted for age, height, race, sex and asthma severity. A particle dosimetry model simulated PM
resultsHigher BMI was associated with higher tidal volume (adjusted mean difference (aMD) between obese and normal-range BMI of 25 mL, 95% CI 5-45 mL) and minute ventilation (aMD 453 mL·min
conclusionsObese children with asthma breathe at higher tidal volumes that may increase the efficiency of PM
