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
High body mass index (BMI) has been identified as a significant risk factor for childhood asthma. Given the rising prevalence of childhood obesity, assessing the impact of high BMI on asthma burden trends is imperative. Utilizing Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data, we estimated age-, sex-, geography-, and sociodemographic index (SDI)-stratified asthma-related deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to high BMI in children (0-14 years old) (1990-2021). Health inequality was assessed by integrating SDI with the slope index of inequality and the relative concentration index. Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis projected asthma burden trends from 2022 to 2035. From 1990 to 2021, global asthma mortality due to high BMI declined, while DALYs rose. Females had higher mortality rates, whereas males exhibited greater DALY burdens. Mortality burden correlated negatively with SDI, whereas DALYs correlated positively. Cross-national inequality analyses revealed higher mortality burdens in low-SDI countries and elevated DALY burdens in high-SDI regions. Frontier analyses indicated greater mortality reduction potential in low-and low - middle - SDI areas and higher DALY mitigation opportunities in high-SDI settings. Projections suggest a continued decline in asthma mortality but a rising DALY trend from 2022 to 2035. These findings highlight persistent sex- and SDI-related disparities and support targeted strategies to reduce the global burden of childhood asthma attributable to high BMI.
