The effectiveness of non-pharmacological healthcare interventions for asthma management during pregnancy: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
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
backgroundWhile reviews have been published on asthma management in pregnant women, none has examined the effectiveness of non-pharmacological healthcare interventions for optimizing asthma management in pregnant women. This systematic review aims to identify non-pharmacological healthcare interventions for optimizing asthma management during pregnancy and to examine their effects on maternal asthma control and neonatal outcomes.
methodsThe Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (IPA) were searched. Two reviewers independently assessed the identified studies against the eligibility criteria and extracted relevant information. The effects of the intervention were assessed qualitatively.
resultsNine studies were identified, of which six were rejected according to the exclusion criteria. The three studies included in the final review described an education program, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and Fraction of exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) guided management of asthma in pregnant women. The PMR and FeNO-guided interventions showed significant improvements in maternal asthma control (lung function and quality of life) and neonatal outcomes (birth weight).
conclusionsFurther evidence from well-designed studies evaluating non-pharmacological healthcare interventions for optimizing asthma management in pregnant women is required.
