Impact of Asthma on the Association between Childhood Obesity and Influenza.
Article in JSM allergy and asthma, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundDespite long-standing recommendations for influenza vaccine in patients with asthma, whether asthma is a risk factor for medically-attended influenza is unclear. Obesity has more recently been found to be a risk factor for severe influenza in adults. Its role in children is less certain. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a 1:1 matched case-control study of all 185 children 2 to 18 years old with PCR-confirmed influenza at our institution from 2010 to 2013.
resultsHaving a prior history of asthma was 2 times more common (95% CI, 1.24-3.23) among the influenza cases than the controls. Obesity was not associated with influenza overall (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.49-1.83). However, among patients with asthma, influenza cases were 4.4 times more likely to be obese compared with subjects without influenza (95% CI, 0.93-20.58).
conclusionIn our population, a prior diagnosis of asthma was associated with a two-fold increased risk of medically-attended influenza. In addition, among patients with asthma there was a trend toward obesity increasing the risk of influenza.
