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
Asthma and wheezing are important pediatric health problems in Africa, yet recent data from Portuguese-speaking countries remain scarce. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to estimate the prevalence of current asthma and associated factors among 6- and 7-year-old children on Santiago Island, Cabo Verde. From April to July 2022, 1,044 pupils from 43 randomly selected primary schools were surveyed using the validated ISAAC questionnaire and a 33-item risk-factor module completed by trained professionals based on caregiver reports, with current asthma defined as wheeze in the previous 12 months. The prevalence of current asthma was 10.5% (95% CI 8.7-12.4), while only 5% of children had a physician diagnosis; boys were more affected than girls (12.6% vs. 8.5%,
