Asthma interactions between obesity and other risk factors.
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 13 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
objectiveTo review and critically discuss published evidence on interactions between obesity and selected risk factors on asthma in children and adults, and to discuss potential future directions in this field. DATA SOURCES: National Library of Medicine (via PubMed) STUDY SELECTION: A literature search was conducted for human studies on obesity and selected interactions (with sex, race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, indoor and outdoor pollutants, depression, anxiety, and diet) on asthma. Studies that were published in English and contained a full text were considered for inclusion in this review.
resultsCurrent evidence supports interactions between obesity and outdoor and indoor air pollutants (including second-hand smoke [SHS]) on enhancing asthma risk, although there are sparse data on the specific pollutants underlying such interactions. Limited evidence also suggests that obesity may modify the effects of depression or anxiety on asthma, whereas little is known about potential interactions between obesity and sex-hormone levels or dietary patterns.
conclusionWell-designed observational prospective studies (eg, for pollutants and sex hormones) and randomized clinical trials (eg, for the treatment of depression) should help establish the impact of modifying coexisting exposures to reduce the harmful effects of obesity on asthma. Such studies should be designed to have a sample size that is large enough to allow adequate testing of interactions between obesity and risk factors that are identified a priori and thus, well characterized, using objective measures and biomarkers (eg, urinary or serum cotinine for SHS, epigenetic marks of specific environmental exposures).
