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

Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting an estimated 27 million people in the United States. It is much more prevalent and severe among Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and working-class communities. Substandard housing disproportionately exposes poor people and communities of color to pests, mold, poorly regulated temperatures, and psychosocial stress. This role of housing as a driver of respiratory health disparities is well-established. However, less attention has been paid to the economic and political forces that produce the current distribution of substandard housing, which enables this unequal exposure and disease burden to persist. This review examines how harmful conditions arise from the political, legal, and economic relationships that govern housing's production, maintenance, and distribution in the United States. We review emerging evidence that identifies power relations-most importantly the landlord-tenant relationship-as the motor that creates and reproduces disparities in exposures and the downstream disparities in asthma burden.
