1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in early life, and recurrent infections increase the risk of developing chronic diseases. The maternal environment during pregnancy can impact offspring health, but the factors leading to increased infection proneness have not been well characterized during this period. Steroids have been implicated in respiratory health outcomes and may similarly influence infection susceptibility. Our objective was to describe relationships between maternal steroid levels and offspring infection proneness. Using adjusted Poisson regression models, we evaluated associations between sixteen androgenic and corticosteroid metabolites during pregnancy and offspring respiratory infection incidence across two pre-birth cohorts (N = 774 in VDAART and N = 729 in COPSAC). Steroid metabolites were measured in plasma samples from pregnant mothers across all trimesters of pregnancy by ultrahigh-performance-liquid-chromatography/mass-spectrometry. We conducted further inquiry into associations of steroids with related respiratory outcomes: asthma and lung function spirometry. Higher plasma corticosteroid levels in the third trimester of pregnancy were associated with lower incidence of offspring respiratory infections (P = 4.45 × 10
