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

purposeTo study the relationship between eosinophil levels and carbohydrate intake in children with asthma.

methodsThis cross-sectional study, which was nationally representative, used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2020 cycle on children with asthma. The study investigated the relationship between eosinophil levels and carbohydrate intake using multiple linear regression models, restricted cubic spline, stratified analysis and sensitivity analysis.

resultsA total of 1756 participants were included in this study. In fully adjusted models, log-transformed carbohydrate intake was positively associated with eosinophil counts (β = 0.24; 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.36; P < 0.001). This result remained significant even when quintiles of carbohydrate intake were included in the multiple regression model. A linear association between carbohydrate intake and eosinophil count was found by restricted cubic spline curve (P = 0.066). Stratification and sensitivity analyses further demonstrated the robustness of the association.

conclusionCarbohydrate intake is positively associated with eosinophil counts in US children with asthma.
