Analysing allergen-environment interactions to identify drivers of asthma presentations in Metropolitan Melbourne, 2017-2022.

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
Although associations between airborne allergens, weather conditions and respiratory health have been established, the precise mechanisms that contribute to the onset and severity of epidemic thunderstorm asthma (ETSA) events remain poorly understood. One critical area of this research lies in understanding the role of fungal spores, which have not been extensively studied for their impact on asthma exacerbations compared to pollen, as well as the influence of certain pollutants like ozone on airborne allergens, which is not well documented. This study aimed to identify the environmental parameters that influence the dispersal & distribution of airborne allergens and how these factors are associated with asthma presentations. Analysis was conducted on 475 days of data collected over a 6-year period between October-December. Using eight global negative binomial generalised linear mixed model formulations combined with a model selection approach, we analysed airborne levels of grass pollen, Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium spp. from Metropolitan Melbourne, along with weather values from the Bureau of Meteorology (precipitation, temperature, humidity, dew point, wind direction, wind speed, air pressure) and pollution values from the Environmental Protection Authority (CO, NO
