An evaluation of asthma interventions for preteen students.
Trial report in The Journal of school health, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04566835 (The Evaluation of Education With Cartoon's Effectiveness on Disease Management of the Children With Asthma), which is not on this map. Cited by 30 papers, 5 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
backgroundAsthma is a serious problem for low-income preteens living in disadvantaged communities. Among the chronic diseases of childhood and adolescence, asthma has the highest prevalence and related health care use. School-based asthma interventions have proven successful for older and younger students, but results have not been demonstrated for those in middle school.
methodsThis randomized controlled study screened students 10-13 years of age in 19 middle schools in low-income communities in Detroit, Michigan. Of the 6,872 students who were screened, 1,292 students were identified with asthma. Schools were matched and randomly assigned to Program 1 or 2 or control. Baseline, 12, and 24 months data were collected by telephone (parents), at school (students) and from school system records. Measures were the students' asthma symptoms, quality of life, academic performance, self-regulation, and asthma management practices. Data were analyzed using multiple imputation with sequential regression analysis. Mixed models and Poisson regressions were used to develop final models.
resultsNeither program produced significant change in asthma symptoms or quality of life. One produced improved school grades (p = .02). The other enhanced self-regulation (p = .01) at 24 months. Both slowed the decline in self-regulation in undiagnosed preteens at 12 months and increased self-regulation at 24 months (p = .04; p = .003).
conclusionPrograms had effects on academic performance and self-regulation capacities of students. More developmentally focused interventions may be needed for students at this transitional stage. Disruptive factors in the schools may have reduced both program impact and the potential for outcome assessment.
