The Role of Environmental Exposures in Pediatric Asthma Pathogenesis: A Contemporary Narrative Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Over several decades, childhood asthma has emerged as a significant global public health concern, with the highest prevalence reported in industrialized countries. The rapid rise in asthma incidence and loss of control when the diagnosis is established can be related to environmental and lifestyle changes, especially during early infancy. Current evidence indicates a potential link to an imbalance in immune system responses, influenced by tobacco smoke, traffic-related air pollution, outdoor and indoor allergens, gut microbiome, viral infection, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and dietary patterns. This narrative review aims to explore the landscape of contemporary environmental risk factors for childhood asthma, with a focus on their interplay and the relative importance.
