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

Despite the progress made in the last few decades in diagnosis and therapy, children and adolescents still die of asthma worldwide. In this study, we collected all asthma-related death events in Italian children and adolescents (0-19 years old) from 2013 to 2023 through the Italian National Statistical Database. 46 deaths were recorded, with a mortality rate of 0.39 per million individuals aged 0-19 years old (population denominator: 10.7 million), with the highest number of deaths observed in North-East Regions (36.9%) and 39/46 (84.7%) deaths between 10 and 19 years old. Factors associated with fatal asthma are also discussed. Targeted preventive strategies and further research are called for, particularly in high-incidence regions and adolescents.
