Hygiene Hypothesis Indicators and Prevalence of Antinuclear Antibodies in US Adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Autoimmunity prevalence, as measured by antinuclear antibodies (ANA), is increasing in U.S. adolescents. Improved hygiene and cleaner environments in childhood may reduce exposure to infections and other immune challenges, resulting in improper immune responses to later-life exposures. We examined associations of hygiene hypothesis indicators, including asthma, allergies, and antibodies to infectious agents, with ANA prevalence, measured by HEp-2 immunofluorescence, in adolescents (aged 12-19 years) over a 25-year time span in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (N=2,709), adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index, education and survey cycle, overall and within individual time periods, using logistic regression. Prevalence of ANA in adolescents increased from 5.0% in 1988-1991 to 12.8% in 2011-2012. ANA were positively associated with diagnosis of asthma in early childhood (OR: 2.07, CI: 1.09-3.99) and the effect estimate for current hay fever was elevated but not statistically significant (OR: 1.55, CI: 0.85-2.84). Fewer than 2% of those with ANA in 1988-1991 had been diagnosed with asthma, compared with 18% in 1999-2000, and 27% in 2003-2004 and 2011-2012. ANA trended negatively with
