School-based supervised therapy programs to improve asthma outcomes: current perspectives.
Review in Journal of asthma and allergy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood affecting 6.2 million (8.4%) children (<18 years old) in the USA. Asthma is also a leading cause of school absenteeism. Daily administration of preventive asthma medications improves asthma control. However, poor medication adherence is one of the barriers in achieving improved asthma outcomes. School-based supervised asthma therapy programs have been implemented to address this barrier.
objectivesTo conduct a review of the literature on school-based supervised asthma therapy interventions and the effect on outcomes in children with persistent asthma.
methodsWe conducted a literature search using electronic search engines (ie, PubMed and Cochrane) and combinations of different search terms "school-based asthma," "school-based asthma therapy," and "school-based supervised asthma therapy." Inclusion criteria were school-based interventions with supervised asthma medication administration conducted in the USA, measuring asthma outcomes. From 443 titles and abstracts, 9 studies met the inclusion criteria.
resultsSchool-based interventions with supervised asthma medication administration revealed improvement in asthma outcomes, including improved medication adherence, increased symptom-free days, decreased daytime and nighttime symptoms, decreased use of rescue medication, decreased asthma-related health care utilization, fewer exacerbations requiring treatment with prednisone, decreased school absenteeism due to asthma, fewer days of activity limitation, improved quality of life, and improvement in both pulmonary inflammatory markers and peak flow readings.
conclusionOur literature review demonstrated that school-based supervised asthma therapy improves asthma outcomes in urban children with persistent asthma. Schools are an ideal setting for implementation of asthma interventions for children and adolescents.
