Generational shifts in atopic disease among immigrant families to North America from Southern India.

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
Background: The Indian diaspora is a fast-growing population in North America, but there are limited data on the prevalence of atopic diseases after migration. Objective: We investigated the impact of migration on atopic disease prevalence among physician families who migrated from Kerala, Southern India, to North America. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered to collect demographic information, migration, and atopic history-including allergic rhinitis (AR), food allergy (FA), asthma, and atopic dermatitis (AD)-of physician migrants from Kerala, Southern India, and their families. Results: Of the 164 completed surveys, 148 were included in the final analyses. Postmigration prevalence of AR and FA were significantly higher than premigration prevalence (AR-pre 12.8% [95% confidence interval (CI), 8.1-19.6] vs AR-post 21.6% [95% CI, 15.5-29.3] [ Conclusion: Respondents exhibited increased prevalence of AR and FA after migration. North America-born children showed elevated risk for asthma, AR, and FA compared to respondents and children who migrated after birth. Research into lost protective factors and new risk factors, including environmental and dietary changes, is needed to decrease the impact on future generations.
