The school-based preventive asthma care trial: results of a pilot study.
Trial report in The Journal of pediatrics, 2012. 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 28 papers, 9 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
objectiveTo test the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the School-Based Preventive Asthma Care Technology (SB-PACT) program, which includes directly observed therapy of preventive asthma medications in school facilitated by Web-based technology for systematic symptom screening, electronic report generation, and medication authorization from providers. STUDY
designWe conducted a pilot randomized trial of SB-PACT versus usual care with 100 children (aged 3-10 years) from 19 inner-city schools in Rochester, New York. Outcomes were assessed longitudinally by blinded interviewers. Analyses included bivariate statistics and linear regression models, adjusting for baseline symptoms.
resultsThere were data for 99 subjects for analysis. We screened all children using the Web-based system, and 44 of 49 treatment group children received directly observed therapy as authorized by their providers. Treatment group children received preventive medications 98% of the time they were in school. Over the school year, children in the treatment group experienced nearly 1 additional symptom-free day over 2 weeks versus the usual care group (11.33 vs 10.40, P = .13). Treatment children also experienced fewer nights with symptoms (1.68 vs 2.20, P = .02), days requiring rescue medications (1.66 vs 2.44, P = .01), and days absent from school due to asthma (0.37 vs 0.85, P = .03) compared with usual care. Further, treatment children had a greater decrease in exhaled nitric oxide (-9.62 vs -0.39, P = .03), suggesting reduction in airway inflammation.
conclusionThe SB-PACT intervention demonstrated feasibility and improved outcomes across multiple measures in this pilot study. Future work will focus on further integration of preventive care delivery across community and primary care systems.
