Validation of The 30 Second Asthma Test as a measure of asthma control.
Article in Canadian respiratory journal, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe primary objective of asthma management is to help patients establish and maintain optimal disease control. Simple and efficient tools are needed to assess patient-reported symptoms so that they can be used with or without airway function to evaluate asthma control.
objectiveThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the validity of The 30 Second Asthma Test (GlaxoSmithKline Inc, Canada), based on the Canadian Asthma Guidelines, by estimating its relationship with criterion measures of control.
resultsThe discriminative and diagnostic validity of The 30 Second Asthma Test was examined in a sample of 81 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of asthma. Based on a cut-off score of two or greater on The 30 Second Asthma Test, the overall agreement with specialist ratings was 65%, and 58% with per cent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s. The 30 Second Asthma Test scores distinguished between groups of patients who were classified based on the change in intensity of therapy.
conclusionThe results support the use of The 30 Second Asthma Test as a brief screening tool for asthma control.
