Evaluation of a peer-led asthma self-management program and benefits of the program for adolescent peer leaders.
Trial report in Respiratory care, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01161225 (Peer-Assisted Asthma Self-Management Program for Adolescents), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.

Abstract
backgroundAsthma is the leading chronic condition in adolescents. Nonetheless, research efforts to address adolescent asthma morbidity by applying a developmentally appropriate self-management intervention have been limited. Recently a peer-led asthma self-management program has been developed and implemented for adolescents. The purpose of the study was to assess the acceptability of a peer-led asthma program for adolescents based on participant feedback and to examine the program's impact on asthma outcomes in peer leaders.
methodsAdolescents with persistent asthma (n = 91, 13-17 years) participated in a camp-based asthma program led by peer leaders (the intervention group) or healthcare professionals (the control group), and completed a set of program evaluation forms. Peer leaders (n = 14, 16-20 years) completed study questionnaires measuring asthma knowledge, self-efficacy, asthma control, and quality of life at baseline, immediately after camp, and 3, 6, and 9 months post-camp.
resultsThe peer-led group reported more positive experience with the program than the adult-led group (P = .01, Cohen's d = 0.53), particularly in its usefulness in dealing with asthma. Peer leaders were rated by participants highly on knowledge (98%), attitudes (93-96%), personal skills (91%), and perceived similarities (80-86%). Significant improvements were found in peer leaders' knowledge (P < .001, η(2) = 0.87), self-efficacy (P < .001, η(2) = 0.74), asthma control (P = .01, η(2) = 0.66), and quality of life in emotional functioning (P = .002, η(2) = 0.82) and activity (P = .003, η(2) = 0.62).
conclusionsA peer-led asthma self-management program was successfully implemented and well received by adolescent learners. Asthma outcomes in peer leaders appear to have improved as a result of the program, although caution should be exercised in determining clinical meaningfulness, given the modest changes in mean scores. ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT01161225.
