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.

2 · The registry

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

This retrospective study examines demographic and risk factor differences between children who visited the emergency department (ED) for asthma once ("one-time") and more than once ("repeat") over an 18-month period at an academic medical center. The purpose is to contribute to the literature on ED utilization for asthma and provide a foundation for future primary research on self-management effectiveness (SME) of childhood asthma. For the first round of analysis, an 18-month retrospective chart review was conducted on 252 children (0-17 years) who visited the ED for asthma in 2019-2020, to obtain data on demographics, risk factors, and ED visits for each child. Of these, 160 (63%) were "one-time" and 92 (37%) were "repeat" ED patients. Demographic and risk factor differences between "one-time" and "repeat" ED patients were assessed using contingency table and logistic regression analyses. A second round of analysis was conducted on patients in the age-group 8-17 years to match another retrospective asthma study recently completed in the outpatient clinics at the same (study) institution. The first-round analysis indicated that except
