The impact of obesity-related asthma on neurodevelopmental disorders in children: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Pediatric research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlthough asthma and obesity are independently associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, whether their co-occurrence is associated with a higher burden of these disorders remains unclear.
methodsUsing NHIS data from children and adolescents aged 10-17 years with complete BMI and neurodevelopmental data, 42,444 participants were stratified into four categories according to their asthma and obesity status: obesity-related asthma (OA), asthma without obesity (NOA), obesity without asthma (ONA), and neither condition (NC).
resultsCompared with the NC group, the adjusted odds ratios for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disability, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delay were, respectively, 1.84 (95% CI 1.57-2.14), 1.87 (95% CI 1.57-2.22), 2.20 (95% CI 1.57-3.07), and 2.29 (95% CI 1.79-2.94) in the OA group; 1.56 (95% CI 1.40-1.74), 1.51 (95% CI 1.34-1.69), 1.12 (95% CI 0.87-1.43), and 1.50 (95% CI 1.26-1.79) in the NOA group; 1.23 (95% CI 1.10-1.38), 1.32 (95% CI 1.17-1.48), 1.53 (95% CI 1.21-1.93), and 1.31 (95% CI 1.10-1.56) in the ONA group.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated a significant association between obesity-related asthma and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. The co-occurrence of obesity and asthma is associated with stronger associations than either condition alone. IMPACT: Our study showed that there was a significant association between obesity-related asthma and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Our study also suggested that the co-occurrence of obesity and asthma is associated with stronger associations than either condition alone. Our study filled the research gap regarding the association between obesity-related asthma and childhood neurodevelopmental disorders. Our findings highlight the need for further longitudinal studies to examine whether integrated management of obesity and asthma is related to neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. These findings may help identify children with co-occurring obesity and asthma as a subgroup warranting closer developmental assessment.
