Management of exercise-induced bronchospasm in NCAA athletic programs.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe prevalence of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) is significantly higher in athletes than that in the general population and can result in significant morbidity in young, competitive athletes. Guidelines emphasize that education and written treatment protocols improve clinical outcomes for asthmatics. Evidence also supports objective testing when EIB is suspected, when there is immediate availability of rescue inhalers, and when there is involvement of asthma specialists in the care of asthmatic athletes. We sought to determine how EIB is managed at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sports medicine programs.
methodsA survey consisting of multiple-choice questions related to EIB in athletes was sent electronically to 3200 athletic trainers affiliated with NCAA sports medicine programs.
resultsFive hundred and forty-one athletic trainers responded. A minority of athletic trainers surveyed (21%) indicated that an asthma management protocol exists at their institution. Twenty-two percent indicated that pulmonologists are on staff or consultants to the sports medicine department. Many indicated that a short-acting beta-agonist is not required to be available at all practices (39%) and games (41%), and few athletic trainers indicated that their programs use objective testing to diagnose EIB (17%). Regression modeling demonstrated education about EIB, and involvement of pulmonologists significantly improved adherence to current consensus guidelines.
conclusionsOn the basis of our data, many NCAA sports medicine programs do not manage athletes with EIB according to current consensus guidelines. This may result in inaccurate diagnoses and may be detrimental to clinical outcomes and overall health of student athletes. Providing education about EIB and involvement of pulmonologists significantly increase adherence to guidelines that likely improves clinical care of athletes and potentially athletic performance.
