Home exposure to moisture and mold is associated with poorer asthma control in children: CHAMPIASTHMA study.

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.

Abstract
Background: Deleterious indoor environment is a risk factor for poor asthma control in children. Objective: We assessed the association between exposure to moisture and/or mold (EMM) and asthma control in children. Methods: The CHAMPIASTHMA study is a multicenter cross-sectional observational study. Children with recurrent wheeze/asthma aged 1 to 17 years were stratified by EMM, as assessed by a standardized questionnaire administered to their parents. The primary outcome was asthma control according to Global Initiative on Asthma guidelines. Secondary outcomes were: control according to asthma control test or pediatric asthma control test score, exacerbations (unscheduled visits, oral corticosteroid receipt, and hospitalization), asthma treatment step, and mold sensitization. Clinical trial registration: NCT04918394. Results: Four hundred twenty-four patients were included, among whom 146 (34%) noted EMM. Patients with EMM more frequently had disease that was not controlled according to Global Initiative on Asthma guidelines (64 [45%] vs 90 [33%]; Conclusion: The CHAMPIASTHMA study highlights that EMM is associated with poorer disease control and asthma outcomes in children. The search for EMM during scheduled visits should be systematic, especially in cases of uncontrolled asthma.
