Association between asthma, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in adolescents and young adults.
Article in The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe association of asthma and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) remains unclear, as well as the role of obesity in this relationship.
methodsAYAs aged 12-25 years who participated in the 2011-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in this cross-sectional analysis. The moderating effect of obesity (age- and sex-adjusted body mass index ≥ 95th%ile for adolescents or ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsA total of 7,709 AYAs (53.9% aged 12-18 years, 51.1% males, and 54.4% non-Hispanic White) were included in this analysis. 3.6% (95% CI 2.8-4.3%) had obesity and asthma, 7.6% (95% CI 6.8-8.4%) had asthma and no obesity, 21.4% (95% CI 19.6-23.2%) had obesity and no asthma, and 67.4% (95% CI 65.4-69.4%) had neither obesity nor asthma. The estimated prevalence of MetS was greater among those with both obesity and asthma versus those with only asthma (4.5% [95% CI 1.7-7.3%] vs. 0.2% [95% CI 0-0.5%],
conclusionsOur results show the association between MetS and asthma is stronger in AYAs with BMI-defined obesity. Efforts to prevent and treat obesity may reduce MetS occurrence in AYAs with asthma.
