Under the weather: an epidemic thunderstorm asthma event in Leicester, June 2023.
Article in BMJ open respiratory research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
In the context of climate change and increasing global populations, thunderstorm asthma may become a greater threat at both individual and population levels. The unpredictable nature of epidemic thunderstorm asthma events makes them challenging to study; however, they can have devastating consequences. Novel approaches are required to characterise the mechanisms driving these events to allow researchers and other stakeholders to understand who is at risk and when. This will support the development of interventions that protect patients and healthcare services. In this commentary, we provide an overview of thunderstorm asthma and briefly describe an epidemic affecting Leicester, UK in June 2023. Our analysis highlights
