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

objectivesPsychiatric morbidity and behavioral problems are quite common in children and adolescents with bronchial asthma, yet they remain underexplored and often ignored in clinical settings. This can impact the child's overall quality of life. There seems to be a dearth of Indian literature and so the current study was planned to assess psychological impact of asthma on the pediatric population.

methodsThirty children and adolescents, attending the Pediatric Chest Clinic at a tertiary care hospital in North India in the age group of 8-15 y having moderate to severe asthma formed the study group and matched healthy controls formed the other group. Sociodemographic and clinical details were obtained. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I. KID) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) were applied.

resultsIrregular attendance at school was reported by 23.33% of the participants with asthma. About 17% of the thirty study-participants were diagnosed with specific phobia, 10% with conduct disorder, and 7% with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants in the study group had significantly more behavioral problems in the syndrome domain anxious/depressed and attention problems. Total CBCL scores were significantly higher in the study group as compared to the control group (t = 3.816, p = 0.0003), indicating the presence of more behavioral problems in pediatric population with bronchial asthma.

conclusionChildren and adolescents with bronchial asthma have co-morbid psychiatric morbidities and behavioral problems.
