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

Multiple early life environmental exposures are thought to influence childhood asthma incidence. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in changes in air pollution levels and a marked disruption in the circulation of childhood respiratory viruses. Both air pollution and respiratory viruses have been implicated in the development of asthma and early childhood wheeze. Human behavior and daily routine practices, including family gatherings and daycare attendance, were impacted profoundly by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated mitigation measures. The changes to human behavior and social interactions that occurred during the pandemic have and will likely continue to impact chronic diseases, including the development of asthma. This rostrum explores how childhood asthma incidence might be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health mitigation measures. Recently completed and ongoing clinical trials being conducted in the infant and toddler population and assessing allergic outcomes may be well positioned to examine the impact of the pandemic on asthma incidence and time to asthma onset.
