Multi-omic factors associated with future wheezing in infants.
Article in Pediatric research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe pathophysiology of wheezing is multifactorial, impacted by medical, demographic, environmental, and immunologic factors. We hypothesized that multi-omic analyses of host and microbial factors in saliva would enhance the ability to identify infants at risk for wheezing.
methodsThis longitudinal cohort study included 161 term infants. Infants who developed wheezing (n = 27) within 24 months of delivery were identified using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Written Questionnaire and review of the medical record. Standardized surveys were used to assess infant traits and environmental exposures. Saliva was collected for multi-omic assessment of cytokines, microRNAs, mRNAs, and microbiome/virome RNAs.
resultsTwo infant factors (daycare attendance, family history of asthma) and three salivary "omic" features (miR-26a-5p, Elusimicrobia, Streptococcus phage phiARI0131-1) differed between the two groups (adjusted p < 0.05). miR-26a-5p levels were correlated with Elusimicrobia (R = -0.87, p = 3.7 × 10
conclusionsHost-microbiome interactions in saliva may yield pathophysiologic clues about the origins of wheezing and aid identification of infants at risk of future wheezing episodes. IMPACT: Wheezing is multi-factorial, but the relative contributions of infant traits, environment, and underlying biology are poorly understood. This multi-omic study identifies three molecular factors, including salivary microRNAs, microbes, and viral phages associated with increased risk of infant wheezing. Measurement of these molecular factors enhanced predictive accuracy for future wheezing when combined with family asthma history and daycare attendance. Validation of this approach could be used to identify infants at risk for wheezing and guide personalized medical management.
