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

Obesity affects more than 650 million adults worldwide, with prevalence continuing to rise across all age groups and continents. This trend has important implications for asthma: individuals with obesity have a 30-50% higher risk of developing asthma, and obesity is highly prevalent among people with established disease. Mean body mass index in clinical trials and registries of adults with asthma consistently ranges from 28 kg·m
