Considerations and challenges for planning a public health approach to asthma.
Article in Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Addressing asthma from a public health perspective is a relatively new concept for which the literature provides little guidance. A public health approach seeks to decrease the burden of asthma and improve health outcomes at the population level, such as communities, cities, or states, by reaching large numbers of individuals with effective interventions and at reasonable cost. Projects designed to achieve a measureable impact at the population level are fundamentally different from projects or interventions designed to improve outcomes among individuals. This paper uses the experience of the Controlling Asthma in American Cities Project and a review of the relevant literature to explore some of the unique questions and considerations that are implicit when planning large-scale asthma projects intended to improve population outcomes. The paper is intended to inform decision making by local and state government agencies, managed care organizations, health systems, community coalitions, and funders. Analysis of asthma and other chronic disease projects aiming to achieve population-level impact is an area for continued public health research.
