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

objectiveTo assess the association between birth weight and childhood asthma risk using data from the 2019-2020 National Survey of Children's Health database.

designCross-sectional study.

settingThe USA. PATIENTS: A representative cohort of American children. EXPOSURE: The exposure of this study was birth weight regardless of gestational age. Birth weight was divided into three groups: <1500 g, 1500-2500 g and >2500 g.

main outcome measuresPrimary outcomes were parent-reported diagnosis of asthma.

methodThe Rao-Scott χ

resultsA total of 60 172 children aged 3-17 years were enrolled in this study; of these, 5202 (~8.6%) had asthma. Children with asthma were more likely to be born preterm, with low birth weight (LBW) or very LBW (VLBW). The incidence of asthma was the highest in VLBW children at 20.9% and showed a downward trend with an increase in birth weight class, with rates of 10.7% and 8.1% in the LBW and normal birthweight groups, respectively. Children with VLBW (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.29 to 3.01) had higher odds of developing asthma in the adjusted analysis model. However, VLBW was only shown to be a risk factor for asthma among Hispanics, black/African-Americans and children between the ages of 6 and 12 years, demonstrating racial and age disparities.

conclusionsVLBW increases the risk of childhood asthma; however, racial and age disparities are evident.
