Mediators of Treatment Effects in a Randomized Clinical Trial of Multisystemic Therapy-Health Care in Adolescents With Poorly Controlled Asthma: Disease Knowledge and Device Use Skills.
Trial report in Journal of pediatric psychology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveDetermine whether Multisystemic Therapy-Health Care (MST-HC) improved asthma knowledge and controller device use skills among African-American youth with poorly controlled asthma and whether any improvements mediated changes in illness management.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted with 170 adolescents with moderate to severe asthma. Families were randomized to MST-HC or attention control. Data were collected at baseline and 6 and 12 months after intervention completion.
resultsIn linear mixed models, adolescents in the MST-HC group had increases in asthma knowledge; asthma knowledge was unchanged for attention control. Controller device use skills increased for adolescents in the MST-HC group, while skills declined for attention control. Both knowledge and skills mediated the relationship between intervention condition and changes in illness management.
conclusionsTailored, home-based interventions that include knowledge and skills building components are one means by which illness management in African-American youth with poorly controlled asthma can be improved.
