Effect of Two Educational Models including Face-to-Face and Training Pamphlets for Disease Control in Asthmatic Patients.
Article in Tanaffos, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 a common condition in which the patient requires self-management and teaching programs that lead to reduced prevalence and mortality. The main aim of this study was to improve the management knowledge of the disease through the use of educational tools, pamphlets and face-to-face lecture, concurrent with evaluating and comparing its effectiveness in response to treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, 82 asthmatic patients were enrolled. Training necessary to control the disease and use of drugs were provided to patients in one group by pamphlets (39 patients) and the other by face-to-face education (43 patients). After a month, Disease control examination and Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores were evaluated and compared.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 39.12±14.25 years. There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, gender and education (P> 0.05) and no significant difference in asthma control between the two groups before the intervention (P = 0.065). The overall asthma control score in the pamphlet was increased from 15.43±4.99 at baseline to 20.58±4.47 in the assessment after one month education (P <0.001) and in face-to-face training an overall score was increased from 13.27±5.39 to 21.95±2.77 (P <0.001). After one month education, asthma control score was increased 5.23 ± 6.88 in pamphlets group and 8.9 ± 6.32 in face-to-face group (P = 0.014).
conclusionEvaluation of both educational methods showed face-to-face training is more efficient.
