The Effect of Obesity on Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in School-Aged Children.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundFractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is recognized as a biomarker of eosinophilic inflammation. Current literature shows evidence that FeNO is influenced by many factors. Obesity is a chronic inflammatory state. In this study, we considered obesity as a potential factor that influences FeNO levels. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between body mass index (BMI, body mass (kg)/height (m)
methodsThe participants in the study were 506 school-aged children who were randomly selected from primary schools located in Silesian Voivodship (Poland). The modified version of the Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire was used to assess the respiratory system status of children. FeNO was measured in 447 children according to European Respiratory Society and America Thoracic Society (ERS/ATS) recommendations. Body mass and height were measured by a medical body composition analyzer. BMI was defined and interpreted with Palczewska's percentile charts.
resultsIn the study group there were 49.9% (
conclusionsIn 6-9 year old school children, FeNO levels are associated with age and health in relation to the respiratory system. The BMI should not be included when considering reference values for FeNO.
