Prevalence of asthma among children in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Lung India : official organ of Indian Chest Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 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
There is a lack of national-level estimates on the magnitude of asthma among children in India. Hence, we undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of asthma among children in India. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, and included cross-sectional studies reporting data on the prevalence of asthma among children in India. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of asthma. In the 33 selected studies (pooled sample of 167,626 children), the estimated prevalence of asthma was 7.9% (95% confidence interval: 6.3-9.6%), I
