Asthma and the social determinants of health.
Review in Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 121 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo synthesize the growing body of literature on the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in asthma and asthma disparities. DATA SOURCES: A pubmed.gov search was performed to identify published literature on SDoH, asthma, asthma disparities, and race and ethnicity. Current asthma statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were reviewed. STUDY SELECTIONS: Relevant articles on SDoH, asthma, asthma disparities, and race and ethnicity were reviewed in detail.
resultsBlack and Latinx Americans have a higher asthma prevalence and greater asthma morbidity than White Americans and also bear a disproportionate burden of SDoH. Inequities in SDoH are rooted in structural racism and population-level injustices that affect the socioeconomic status, physical environment, and health care access/quality of Black and Latinx Americans. There is evidence that racial/ethnic inequities in SDoH, such as socioeconomic status, neighborhood environment, housing, environmental exposures, and health care access/quality, contribute to excess burden of asthma prevalence/incidence, morbidity, exacerbations, and abnormal lung function among certain racial/ethnic populations. In addition, Black and Latinx communities experience high levels of long-term stress, which may increase asthma risk through direct effects on the immune system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical activation. Long-term stress may also mediate the effects of SDoH on asthma.
conclusionAlthough there is clear evidence linking SDoH to excess asthma risk and implicating SDoH in asthma disparities, the extent to which asthma disparities are explained by inequities in SDoH and the relative contributions of each of these SDoH to asthma disparities remain unclear. This knowledge is needed to effectively develop and test systems-level interventions targeting SDoH, with the ultimate goal of meaningfully reducing racial/ethnic asthma disparities.
