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

objectiveTo explore the effects of a nurse-led hierarchical management model for managing the out-of-hospital asthma control and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma.

methodsA prospective randomized controlled study was designed. Children with bronchial asthma treated in our hospital were recruited as the study cohort and randomly divided into a test group (n=60) and a control group (n=60). After their discharge from the hospital, the children with bronchial asthma in both groups underwent out-of-hospital management led by nurses. In addition to this management, the test group underwent hierarchical management according to the results of their social living ability and temperament type evaluations. The levels of control of the asthma within 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. The changes in the asthma control test (ACT) scores, the daily variation rates in the peak expiratory flows (PEF), the pulmonary functions, the changes in the airway inflammation indicators, and the two groups' quality of life were compared. In addition, univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the factors influencing the acute asthma attacks in children.

resultsCompared with the control group, the number of acute asthma attacks, the emergency medical treatment and hospitalization rates in children with acute asthma attacks within 6 months were significantly decreased in the test group (P<;0.05). After 3 and 6 months of the nursing, the test group had better ACT scores, better daily PEF variation rates, better pulmonary function, better serum inflammatory factors, better Medication Adherence Report Scale for Asthma (MARS-A) scores, and better pediatric asthma quality of life questionnaire (PAQLQ) scores than the control group (all P<;0.05). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that acute asthma attacks in childhood asthma were associated with the age of the first attack ≤f years (OR=3.635), a family history of rhinitis/asthma (OR=1.425), poor medication adherence (OR=1.855), the baseline IgE level (OR=1.305), and the hierarchical nursing management (OR=0.593).

conclusionsA nurse-led hierarchical management model can effectively improve the level of out-of-hospital asthma control in children with bronchial asthma and can improve their pulmonary function and quality of life as well.
