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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeIt is not completely clear whether and how medication adherence, asthma control, and quality of life (QOL) predict each other over time. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the longitudinal associations between asthma control, medication adherence, and quality of life among adolescents.

methodsIn this 3-wave longitudinal study, adolescents (N = 139, Mean age = 11.8) completed questionnaires about their medication adherence (Medication Adherence Report Scale for Asthma), asthma control (Asthma Control Questionnaire), and QOL (Adolescent Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire) during home visits in the spring/summer of 2011, 2012, and 2013. Cross-lagged analyses examined temporal interrelations between the three variables over the course of 3 years.

resultsHigher QOL at baseline predicted increased medication adherence at follow-up (T2), but did not predict changes in asthma control over time. Medication adherence and asthma control did not predict changes in QOL over time. There were no associations between asthma control and medication adherence over time.

conclusionsInterventions could focus on increasing QOL to increase medication adherence in adolescents with asthma.
