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

Background: Allergic asthma represents the most popular phenotype of childhood asthma and is characterized by eosinophilic airway inflammation associated with specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies sensitization to various allergens, as evidenced by serology or skin prick test. Objective: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of aeroallergen sensitization and its associated factors in children with an asthma exacerbation in Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Children's Hospital 1, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Children who were aged 3 to 15 and admitted to the hospital with moderate or severe asthma exacerbation were recruited to the study. Data was collected from interviews and medical records. SPT was used to identify aeroallergen sensitization. The association between school-age, living area, and passive smoking with the odds of aeroallergen sensitization was assessed using a multivariable logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of aeroallergen sensitization was 82.6% and this figure in school-age children was higher than that in preschool-age ones (93.8% vs 72.1%, p=0.001). School-age, living in HCMC, and passive smoking significantly increased the odds of aeroallergen sensitization in asthmatic children with adjusted OR [95%CI] as 6.9 [2.1-23.3], 4.1 [1.5-11.5], and 2.9 [1.0-8.4], respectively. Asthmatic children with aeroallergen sensitization required more hours to resolve an asthma exacerbation than those without (22.4 vs 15.2, p=0.006). Conclusion: Aeroallergen sensitization was common in hospitalized children with moderate or severe asthma exacerbation. It is necessary to establish environmental policy and screening practices of aeroallergen sensitization to improve the quality of asthma management for Vietnamese children.
