An Elevated METS-IR Index Is Associated With Higher Asthma Morbidity and Earlier Age of First Asthma in US Adults: Results Based on a Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there is a correlation between the METS-IR index and asthma among Americans. Methods: In an attempt to establish the relationship between the METS-IR index and asthma prevalence and age at first onset of asthma, we conducted a logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and dose-response curve analysis using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Results: In model 3, each unit increase in METS-IR index led to 1.5% increase in asthma prevalence (OR= 1.015, 95% CI: 1.012, 1.018) and an earlier age of onset of asthma by 0.057years (β= -0.057, 95% CI: -0.112, -0.002).Stratified analysis determined that an increase in METS-IR index was associated with asthma prevalence in almost all subgroups, except in the group where it was not known whether a blood relative had asthma, and a positive linear relationship was found between METS-IR index and asthma prevalence, as well as a linear negative relationship with age at asthma onset. Conclusion: Despite the fact that a direct causal relationship cannot be demonstrated, a higher METS-IR index is positively related to asthma prevalence and correspondingly may result in asthma onset at younger ages.
