The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02293499 (Peer Led Asthma Self Management for Adolescents), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAdequate assessment of control is critical to asthma management. The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) and the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) criteria are commonly used measures of asthma control.

objectiveTo examine the associations between the ACQ and NAEPP criteria and compare the validity in association with lung function, asthma exacerbation, and quality of life.

methodsThe ACQ and the NAEPP criteria were administered to 373 adolescents with asthma aged 12 to 20 years. The 2 measures correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV

resultsAgreement between the ACQ and NAEPP criteria was moderate (κ = 0.40-0.61). Neither of the 2 measures was a reliable predictor of FEV

conclusionNeither the ACQ nor the NAEPP appears to reliably predict lung function, whereas both measures reasonably associate with acute asthma exacerbation. The ACQ may be the superior measure in gauging the psychosocial effect of asthma control given its particularly strong associations with quality of life.
