Neighborhood environmental vulnerability and pediatric asthma morbidity in US metropolitan areas.
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundResearch suggests demographic, economic, residential, and health-related factors influence vulnerability to environmental exposures. Greater environmental vulnerability may exacerbate environmentally related health outcomes. We developed a neighborhood environmental vulnerability index (NEVI) to operationalize environmental vulnerability on a neighborhood level.
objectiveWe explored the relationship between NEVI and pediatric asthma emergency department (ED) visits (2014-19) in 3 US metropolitan areas: Los Angeles County, Calif; Fulton County, Ga; and New York City, NY.
methodsWe performed separate linear regression analyses examining the association between overall NEVI score and domain-specific NEVI scores (demographic, economic, residential, health status) with pediatric asthma ED visits (per 10,000) across each area.
resultsLinear regression analyses suggest that higher overall and domain-specific NEVI scores were associated with higher annual pediatric asthma ED visits. Adjusted R
conclusionGreater neighborhood environmental vulnerability was associated with greater pediatric asthma ED visits in each area. The relationship differed in effect size and variance explained across the areas. Future studies can use NEVI to identify populations in need of greater resources to mitigate the severity of environmentally related outcomes, such as pediatric asthma.
