Ethnic differences in caregiver quality of life in pediatric asthma.
Article in Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine ethnic and site differences in quality of life (QOL) in a sample of Latino (Puerto Rican [PR] and Dominican) and non-Latino white caregivers of children with asthma in mainland US and Island PR. We also investigated ethnic and site differences in associations between caregiver QOL and indicators of asthma morbidity.
methodSeven hundred and eighty-seven children with asthma (7-16 years of age) and their primary caregivers participated in the study. Primary caregivers completed a measure of QOL, child asthma control, and emergency department utilization, among other measures.
resultsEthnic and site differences were found on total QOL scores (ΔF(1,783) = 29.46, p < .001). Island PR caregivers reported worse QOL scores than Rhode Island (Rl) Latino and non-Latino white caregivers; Rl Latino caregivers reported significantly worse QOL scores than non-Latino white caregivers. In Rl Latino and Island PR children, worse caregiver QOL was associated with asthma that was not in control and with one or more emergency department visits.
conclusionLatino caregivers may be experiencing a greater level of burden related to their child's asthma than non-Latino white caregivers. Caregiver QOL in pediatric asthma may be a reflection of broader contextual stress that some Latino caregivers experience on a daily basis (e.g., cultural beliefs, acculturation). Future research should continue to investigate mechanisms that explain the burden associated with pediatric asthma in Latino families, as well as whether QOL assessments should consider the impact of everyday stressors on caregiver QOL in pediatric asthma.
