Frequency of persistent obesity 5 years after first time diagnosis of status asthmaticus.
Observational study in The clinical respiratory journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesWhen a severe asthma exacerbation occurs in an obese pediatric patient, it is unknown if this body type persists in future encounters. Persistent obesity can lead to future asthma exacerbations. The main study objective is to evaluate the persistence of a BMI percentile ≥85th in children 5 years after the first reported diagnosis of status asthmaticus. We hypothesized that a hospital admission for status asthmaticus was associated with persistence of a BMI percentile ≥85th.
methodsThis was a long-term retrospective observational cohort study utilizing TriNetX ® electronic health record (EHR) data. We included subjects aged 2 to 18 years of age with a diagnosis of status asthmaticus. Study population was divided into two groups based on their admission body mass index percentile: (underweight/healthy weight [<85th percentile] and overweight/obese [≥85th percentile]) and evaluated for the following outcomes: age, race, ethnicity, diagnostic codes, and BMI percentiles (initially and 5 years after diagnosis of status asthmaticus).
resultsA total of 129 subjects (n%) (76 [58.9%] underweight/healthy weight and 53 [41.1%] overweight/obese) were included. Children that were initially overweight/obese with status asthmaticus had significantly increased odds of continuing to be overweight/obese 5 years after diagnosis compared to children who were underweight/healthy weight at baseline (OR = 7.50 [95% confidence interval, 3.20-17.60; p < 0.001]).
conclusionsOverweight/obese asthmatic children are at risk of continuing to be obese several years after being diagnosed with status asthmaticus. This study reinforces the notion that when an asthmatic obese child presents with status asthmaticus, a thorough evaluation of nutrition, physical activity, and asthma control should be considered to reduce the risk of persistent obesity and possibly future asthma exacerbations.
