Parental health literacy and asthma education delivery during a visit to a community-based pediatric emergency department: a pilot study.
Trial report in Pediatric emergency care, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02242682 (Video Education), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 4 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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to compare change in asthma knowledge among parents with low or adequate health literacy after video or written asthma education delivered during their child's asthma-related emergency department (ED) visit.
methodsWe recruited a convenience sample of parents presenting to the ED with their asthmatic child 2 to 14 years old. Parents were randomized to receive video (intervention) or written (active-control) asthma education materials. Health literacy levels were determined using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine tool. Asthma knowledge was evaluated at enrollment and 6-week telephone follow-up. Differences in knowledge scores were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests; χ² tests were used for comparisons of categorical variables.
resultsOf 150 eligible parents, 129 participated (86%), and 117 were eligible for follow-up. Telephone follow-up was completed with 86 parents (74%). Health literacy levels were low in 31% of the parents. High asthma knowledge scores at enrollment were achieved by 33% of low-literacy and 59% of adequate-health-literacy parents (P = 0.025). Improvement in knowledge was realized for low-literacy parents regardless of the type of education (P < 0.001). Parents with adequate health literacy showed increased knowledge scores only after viewing the video.
conclusionsAsthma education materials distributed at the time of an ED visit increase parental knowledge about the disease. Video-based asthma education appears promising as a tool for increasing asthma knowledge in both low- and adequate-health-literacy parents.
