Implications of removing race from spirometry reference equations in children with asthma.
Article in Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology : official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe Global Lung Initiative (GLI) recently developed a race-neutral reference equation in 2022 (GLI-2022); however, the implications of its use in children with asthma, especially Latino children, have not been extensively studied.
objectiveTo assess the difference in spirometry results, asthma severity, and airway obstruction classification for African American (AA), Latino, and White children with asthma after implementing GLI-2022.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated the first spirometry performed by children with asthma aged 5 to 17 years between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023. z-Scores and percent-predicted (pp) values for forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
resultsA total of 7138 children (3543 AA, 2795 White, and 800 Latino) were included (median age = 10.3 years). FEV
conclusionImplementing GLI-2022 affected asthma severity and airway obstruction classifications and resulted in a lower FVC and FEV
