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

Background: Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting 8% of US adults, with significant disparities among racial and ethnic groups. The Asian American population is diverse, yet asthma research often aggregates data, potentially obscuring group-specific differences. Disaggregated data reveal that although Asian Americans overall appear to have lower asthma prevalence than non-Hispanic Whites, certain subgroups, like Filipino adults, have higher rates. Asthma outcomes are influenced by genetics, environmental exposures, and social determinants, although the specific impact of these factors remains unclear. Objective: The objective was to better describe asthma outcomes among disaggregated Asian American groups. Methods: We analyzed 2006-18 National Health Interview Survey data on asthma prevalence among non-Hispanic White and disaggregated Asian American adults. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for Asian American asthma outcomes compared to non-Hispanic Whites, accounting for demographic, health, and socioeconomic factors. Results: Asthma prevalence varied among adults: non-Hispanic White (n = 33,764), Chinese (n = 310, OR = 0.54), Filipino (n = 603, OR = 1.03), Asian Indian (n = 236, OR = 0.43), and other Asians (n = 601, OR = 0.61). Over half had poor asthma control: 62% non-Hispanic White, 53.5% Chinese (OR = 0.72), 50.2% Filipino (OR = 0.64), 54.8% Asian Indian (OR = 0.75), and 59.2% other Asian (OR = 0.82). Filipino adults showed higher asthma prevalence (OR = 1.37) but better control (OR = 0.74). Chinese (OR = 0.39) and Asian Indian (OR = 0.48) adults had fewer emergency department visits. Sociodemographic and health factors significantly affected symptoms, attacks, and emergency department visits. Conclusion: Asthma prevalence and control varied widely among Asian American populations. Sociodemographic and health factors influenced poor asthma control more than racial group.
