Building Bridges for Asthma Care: Reducing school absence for inner-city children with health disparities.
Article in The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 22 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.

Abstract
backgroundChildren with asthma are at increased risk for experiencing health and educational disparities because of increased school absence. School nurses are well positioned to support asthma management and improve school attendance.
objectiveWe sought to implement and assess the effect of the Building Bridges for Asthma Care Program on improving school attendance and measures of asthma control.
methodsChildren with asthma (age, 5-14 years) in the Denver Public School System (n = 240) and the Hartford Public School System (n = 223) were enrolled in the Building Bridges Program during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years and followed until the end of the second school year. The primary outcome was school absence, with secondary outcomes, including asthma control, measured based on Childhood Asthma Control Test or the Asthma Control Test scores and rescue inhaler use.
resultsParticipants experienced a 22% absolute decrease in school absenteeism, the number of children with an Asthma Control Test/Childhood Asthma Control Test score of less than the control threshold of 20 decreased from 42.7% to 28.8%, and bronchodilator use greater than 2 times per week decreased from 35.8% to 22.9% (all changes were significant, P < .01).
conclusionsChildren enrolled in the Building Bridges for Asthma Care Program experienced reduced school absence and improved asthma control.
