Quantifying the interaction between adiposity and hyperglycemia on incident asthma among youth.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the association between overweight and diabetes with childhood asthma and to assess potential synergistic effects among these conditions.
methodsThis cross - sectional study analyzed 14,281 US children aged 2–17 years (NHANES 1999–2023). Active asthma was defined as the outcome. Overweight and diabetes were the exposure variables. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between overweight, diabetes, and asthma risk. The models were adjusted for demographics, HDL, hypertension, poverty - income ratio, and physical activity.
resultsBoth overweight and diabetes were associated with increased asthma risk in children, with an interaction effect between the two conditions. After adjusting for confounders, children with both overweight and diabetes had a significantly increased asthma risk (OR 3.861, 95% CI 1.02–14.63). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the positive association between overweight/diabetes and asthma risk remained consistent across most demographic and clinical strata, with no significant interactions observed, confirming the robustness of the findings across diverse populations.
conclusionAdiposity and hyperglycaemia synergistically amplify childhood asthma risk, especially in adolescents and inactive youth, underscoring integrated metabolic–respiratory prevention strategies.
