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

backgroundRacial disparities in atopic disease (atopic dermatitis [AD], asthma, and allergies) prevalence are well documented. Despite strong associations between race and socioeconomic deprivation in the United States, and socioeconomic status (SES) and atopic diseases, the extent to which SES explains these disparities is not fully understood.

objectiveWe sought to identify racial disparities in childhood atopic disease prevalence and determine what proportion of those disparities is mediated by SES.

methodsThis study used the National Health Interview Survey (2011-2018) to investigate AD, asthma, and respiratory allergy prevalence in Black and White children and the extent to which measures of SES explain any identified disparities.

resultsBy race, prevalences were as follows: AD, White 11.8% (95% CI: 11.4%, 12.2%) and Black 17.4% (95% CI: 16.6%, 18.3%); asthma prevalence, White 7.4% (95% CI: 7.0%, 7.7%) and Black 14.3% (95% CI: 13.5%, 15.0%); respiratory allergy, White 11.4% (95% CI: 11.0%, 11.9%) and Black 10.9% (95% CI: 10.3%, 11.6%). The percentage of the disparity between racial groups and disease prevalence explained by a multivariable measure of SES was 25% (95% CI: 15%, 36%) for Black versus White children with AD and 47% (95% CI: 40%, 54%) for Black versus White children with asthma.

conclusionsIn a nationally representative US population, Black children had higher prevalence of AD and asthma than White children did and similar prevalence of respiratory allergy; a multivariable SES measure explained a proportion of the association between Black versus White race and AD and a much larger proportion for asthma.
