Living in environmental justice areas worsens asthma severity and control: Differential interactions with disease duration, age at onset, and pollution.
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 10 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
backgroundImpoverished and historically marginalized communities often reside in areas with increased air pollution.
objectiveWe evaluated the association between environmental justice (EJ) track and asthma severity and control as modified by traffic-related air pollution (TRAP).
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of 1526 adult asthma patients in Allegheny County, Pa, enrolled in an asthma registry during 2007-20. Asthma severity and control were determined using global guidelines. EJ tract designation was based on residency in census tracts with ≥30% non-White and/or ≥20% impoverished populations. TRAP exposures (NO
resultsTRAP exposure in the highest quartile range was more frequent among patients living in an EJ tract (66.4% vs 20.8%, P < .05). Living in an EJ tract increased the odds of severe asthma in later onset asthma. The odds of uncontrolled asthma increased with disease duration in all patients living in EJ tracts (P < .05). Living in the highest quartile of NO
conclusionsLiving in an EJ tract increased the odds of severe and uncontrolled asthma and was influenced by age at onset, disease duration, and potentially by TRAP exposure. This study underscores the need to better understand the complex environmental interactions that affect lung health in groups that have been economically and/or socially marginalized.
