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
Introduction: Some racial and ethnic minority communities have long faced a higher asthma burden than non-Hispanic White communities. Prior research on racial and ethnic pediatric asthma disparities found stable or increasing disparities, but more recent data allow for updated analysis of these trends. Methods: Using 2012-2020 National Inpatient Sample data, we estimated the number of pediatric asthma hospitalizations by sex, age, and race and ethnicity. We converted these estimates into rates using data from the US Census Bureau and then conducted meta-regression to assess changes over time. Because the analysis spanned a 2015 change in diagnostic coding, we performed separate analyses for periods before and after the change. We also excluded 2020 data from the regression analysis. Results: The number of pediatric asthma hospitalizations decreased over the analysis period. Non-Hispanic Black children had the highest prevalence (range, 9.8-36.7 hospitalizations per 10,000 children), whereas prevalence was lowest among non-Hispanic White children (range, 2.2-9.4 hospitalizations per 10,000 children). Although some evidence suggests that race-specific trends varied modestly across groups, results overall were consistent with a similar rate of decrease across all groups (2012-2015, slope = -0.83 [95% CI, -1.14 to -0.52]; 2016-2019, slope = -0.35 [95% CI, -0.58 to -0.12]). Conclusion: Non-Hispanic Black children remain disproportionately burdened by asthma-related hospitalizations. Although the prevalence of asthma hospitalization is decreasing among all racial and ethnic groups, the rates of decline are similar across groups. Therefore, previously identified disparities persist. Interventions that consider the specific needs of members of disproportionately affected groups may reduce these disparities.
