The association between fecal incontinence and asthma among adult Americans: evidence from NHANES 2005-2010.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: There is a paucity of research exploring the relationship between fecal incontinence (FI) and asthma. This study seeks to evaluate the potential correlation between FI and asthma among adult Americans. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional design, this study comprised a sample of 11,128 adults aged 20 years and older sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2010. FI is characterized by the involuntary excretion of solid, liquid, or mucus stool occurring at least once a month. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were calculated using logistic regression models. Subgroup analyses were performed to validate the robustness of the findings. Results: After adjusting for baseline characteristics, lifestyle habits, and comorbidities, a significant association was observed between FI and an increased risk of asthma (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.1-1.61, Conclusion: We found a significant positive correlation between FI and asthma. Females and individuals aged over 45 demonstrate an increased vulnerability to developing asthma. Prompt intervention for individuals experiencing fecal incontinence may mitigate the risk of asthma onset.
