1 · What the graph read from 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

Asthma is a serious health problem for First Nations and Inuit children. In children younger than one year of age, asthma needs to be distinguished from viral bronchiolitis, which is unusually common in Canadian Aboriginal children. In children younger than six years of age, the diagnosis depends on the presence of typical symptoms, the absence of atypical features and the documentation of response to therapy - particularly a rapid, transient response to bronchodilators. In older children, the presence of reversible airway obstruction should be determined using spirometry whenever feasible to confirm the diagnosis. Environmental triggers should be evaluated and corrected whenever possible. Regular use of inhaled steroids is the most important measure for maintaining good asthma control in children with asthma. Clients and their families should receive asthma education. Control should be regularly reassessed at follow-up visits in health centres, with therapy adjusted to the lowest level capable of maintaining good control.
