Review in Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Asthma and obesity are 2 of the most significant chronic diseases of childhood. Both are major public health problems that have been increasing in prevalence. Obesity increases the risk of developing asthma in children, and in children with asthma, obesity increases asthma severity and morbidity. The nature of this relationship is complex and not fully understood, but some pediatric patients with "obesity-related asthma" may represent a phenotype that differs from the more classical, atopic pediatric asthma. In this review, we investigate and discuss some of the currently available literature regarding treatment for asthma complicated by obesity in the pediatric population. We cover the importance of healthy lifestyle modifications, management of obesity-related comorbidities, and the potential role of nutritional supplementation or modification. We then review recent literature, mostly in adults, investigating the potential role of obesity or diabetes medications in the management of patients with asthma who have obesity. Finally, we discuss some of the necessary next steps before these potential new treatments can be considered as part of the standard clinical management of asthma.
