Evaluating the Financial Sustainability of the School-Based Telemedicine Asthma Management Program.
Article in Population health management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Using telemedicine to improve asthma management in underserved communities has been shown to be highly effective. However, program operating costs are perceived as the main barrier to dissemination and scaling up. This study evaluated whether a novel, evidence-based School-Based Telemedicine Enhanced Asthma Management (SB-TEAM) program, designed to overcome barriers to care for families of urban school-aged children, can be financially sustainable in real-world urban school settings. Eligible children (n = 400) had physician-diagnosed asthma with persistent or poorly controlled symptoms at baseline. Total costs included the cost of implementing and running the SB-TEAM program, asthma-related health care costs, cost of caregiver lost productivity in wages related to child illness, and school absenteeism fees. Using data from the SB-TEAM study and national data on wages and equipment costs, the authors modeled low, actual, and high-cost scenarios. The actual cost of administering the SB-TEAM program averaged $344 per child. Expenses incurred by families for medical care ($982), caregiver productivity cost ($415), and school absenteeism costs ($284) in SB-TEAM were not different from the costs in the control group ($1594, $492, and $318 [
