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

backgroundAeroallergen sensitization is a major factor in asthma, and asthma is associated with impaired lung function. The independent association between sensitization and lung function is unclear.

objectivesTo examine factors associated with lung function in adolescence, with special interests in sensitization and asthma.

methodsAll schoolchildren in grade one and two (median age 8) in two municipalities in Northern Sweden were invited to a questionnaire survey of allergic diseases and skin prick tests to aeroallergens. This was repeated at ages 12 and, at 19 years also including spirometry and n = 1495 participated at all three occasions. Associations between risk factors and FEV

resultsAeroallergen sensitization was not associated with lung function, irrespective of age at onset, type or degree of sensitization. Early-onset asthma, both persistent (B -0.35, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.09) and in remission (B -0.43, 95% CI -0.74 to -0.12) was associated with lower FEV

conclusionsAeroallergen sensitization was not independently associated with lung function. Early onset asthma was strongly associated with lung function impairments in young adulthood and in sensitized and non-sensitized individuals alike.
