A Prospective Study to Assess the Quality of Life in Children with Newly Diagnosed Asthma and Their Caregivers using the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesThe study aims to assess the quality of life (QOL) in newly diagnosed asthmatic children and their caregivers before and after treatment using mini pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire (PAQLQ) and pediatric asthma caregivers quality of life questionnaire (PACQLQ) and to compare their quality of life with ACS (asthma clinical severity score). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective study was done among 99 children and their caregivers, who were interviewed using mini PAQLQ and PACQLQ on 2 occasions: at the time of inclusion and 4 weeks after treatment. During their clinic visit, asthma clinical severity scoring was done, and children were treated according to GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma).
resultsAfter 4 weeks of treatment, there was a significant change in all domains of mini PAQLQ (
conclusionDuring treatment, QOL of newly diagnosed asthmatic children and their caregivers showed significant improvement but children lagged in their emotional domain. Despite medical intervention, these children also require psychological support and counseling. Also, caregivers didn't perceive a change in their QOL when compared with ACS and it indicates that parent's and child health-related quality of life should be taken as independent dimensions.
