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

Asthma is a serious chronic lung disease with a significant economic burden. The population of the San Bernardino County Juvenile Detention and Assessment Centers have higher odds of asthma as compared to the general population. Research has shown that a significant number of patients with a prior history of asthma were misdiagnosed. A protocol using objective testing, along with the detailed patient's history, was successfully implemented to verify the diagnosis and guide more effective medical care. After the implementation of those steps, the prevalence of asthma was found to be lower with the new protocol, from 18.1% in the pre-protocol period to 11.2% in the post-protocol period. This decrease resulted in an associated reduction in both direct and indirect healthcare costs and more efficient medical care.
