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
introductionRace has been retained in the Pediatric Asthma Risk Score (PARS) as a proxy for multiple factors yet to be determined that increase asthma risk, but this can promote structural racism and racially based health disparities. Socioeconomic deprivation (SED) indices may better elucidate disparities in asthma risk since they combine multiple dimensions of socioeconomic position and environment into one variable.
methodsTo evaluate the performance of 11 SED indices in the PARS model compared to race, I conducted a longitudinal analysis of children participating in the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution (CCAAPS, n = 589) and the Mechanisms of Progression of Atopic Dermatitis to Asthma in Children (MPAACH, n = 119) cohorts.
resultsOverall, the 708 children in CCAAPS and MPAACH were 6.9 (6.8-7.1) years of age at asthma assessment, 55.5% male, 28.4% African-American, and 20.2% had asthma. Race AUCs were 0.795 (CCAAPS) and 0.76 (MPAACH); SED AUCs ranged from 0.786 to 0.805 and 0.747 to 0.759. 93% of children remained in the same asthma risk category when SED was used instead of race. No socioeconomic or environmental factors were associated with the 7% that had a change in asthma risk category. DISCUSSION: In this cohort study of 708 children, SED performed equally to race to estimate childhood asthma in the PARS model, and 93% retained the same risk category. We recommend using SED in place of race to reduce factors that contribute to structural racism and move towards demoting health disparities in children.
