Adolescents and asthma: why bother with our meds?
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 44 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundAdherence to inhaled steroid regimens for asthma is poor in adults and children. Although it is assumed that nonadherence contributes to morbidity in older adolescents, investigation is limited.
objectiveWe sought to describe adherence to preventive asthma medications and explore relevant beliefs and attitudes in older urban adolescents, including their ideas for improving adherence.
methodsQuantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data from a convenience sample of adolescents with asthma previously prescribed fluticasone/salmeterol (F/S). Two semistructured face-to-face interviews were conducted 1 month apart and analyzed for themes. F/S use was electronically monitored between visits and calculated as the number of actuations divided by the number of inhalations prescribed.
resultsForty participants, (15-18 years of age, 19 female subjects, 30 black/African American subjects, 11 Medicaid-insured subjects, and 24 previously hospitalized for asthma) with a median FEV1 of 98% of predicted value (range, 67% to 127%) had median adherence of 43% (range, 4% to 89%). Adherence was not associated with FEV1 or emergency department visits. Themes emerged from interviews as follows. Teens (1) take F/S inconsistently; (2) believe F/S is "supposed to help me breathe"; (3) dislike its taste; (4) are "too busy" and "forget"; and (5) recommend "reminder" solutions to poor adherence. Twenty percent believed that taking F/S was unnecessary, and another 18% expressed ambivalence about its benefits.
conclusionAdherence was poor. Examining and acknowledging health beliefs of older teens in the context of their complicated lives might facilitate discussions about self-management.
