Asthma and Respiratory Infections From Birth to Young Adulthood.

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
We applied data from a population-based prospective study, the Espoo Cohort Study (n = 2,568), to identify the potential susceptibility of persons with asthma to respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Information on the occurrence of asthma and both upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) was collected with a questionnaire at baseline and at the 6-year and 20-year follow-up studies, and from the Finnish national health registries. We estimated age- and sex-specific incidence rate differences (IRDs) and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) by applying negative binomial regression. Meta-regression was used to summarize the age-specific IRRs from childhood to 27 years of age. Individuals with asthma at any age during the follow-up period had increased risks of both URTIs (adjusted IRD = 72.6 (95% confidence interval (CI): 50.6, 94.7) per 100 person-years; adjusted IRR = 1.27 (95% CI: 1.20, 1.35)) and LRTIs (adjusted IRD = 25.5 (95% CI: 17.9, 33.1); adjusted IRR = 2.87 (95% CI: 2.33, 3.53)) from childhood to young adulthood. In young adulthood, the association between asthma and URTIs was stronger in women than in men, while such an association was not detected for LRTIs. This analysis provides strong evidence that persons with asthma experience more RTIs from preschool age to young adulthood than do those without asthma. Thus, they constitute a susceptible population for RTIs. Women with asthma are at especially high risk.
