Barriers to medication use in rural underserved patients with asthma.
Article in Research in social & administrative pharmacy : RSAP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundAsthma control is especially challenging for underserved populations. Medication use is critical to asthma control, but patients with asthma can experience barriers to using these medications.
objectivesTo assess the nature, frequency and impact of barriers to medication use in rural underserved patients with asthma.
methodsA retrospective review of documentation from pharmacists' initial consultations with asthma patients was conducted. Pharmacist classified barriers in the following categories: knowledge, beliefs and practical issues. The Asthma Control Test (ACT) was used to assess disease control. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses were conducted.
resultsDocumentation from 46 consultations were examined. Eighteen participants (39%) had knowledge barriers, 18 (39%) had belief barriers and 16 (35%) had practical barriers. In bivariate analyses, only belief barriers were related to significantly worse asthma control (t = 1.83, P = 0.04). Adjusted analyses found that participants with both belief and practical barriers had significantly worse asthma control (β = -3.44, P = 0.03) in comparison to others without both barriers.
conclusionsBarriers around medications beliefs were frequent and associated with worse asthma control. Programs that identify and tailor interventions to address these patient-specific barriers may improve outcomes in rural underserved patients with asthma.
