Biomarkers of inflammation associated with radon exposure in the School Inner-City Asthma Study (SICAS).
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRadon is an omnipresent radioactive gas recently reported to be associated with increased asthma morbidity.
objectivesWe aimed to identify biomarkers associated with radon exposure and hypothesized elevated radon exposure to be associated with increased inflammatory biomarker levels in an exploratory analysis.
methodsIn 137 schoolchildren with asthma in the School Inner-City Asthma Study, we assessed estimated radon exposure (1-month averaged radon) by a spatiotemporal model and 46 inflammatory biomarker outcomes, adjusting for copollutants (particulate matter with diameter ≤2.5 μm, NO
resultsIn a total of 137 observations, we found a positive association with radon exposure and IL-5, a T
conclusionsRadon is a potential novel, modifiable risk factor for asthma recently reported to be associated with asthma morbidity. This work identifies important biological disease pathways via biomarkers that may be central to the exposure-outcome relationship.
