The Feasibility of a Lifestyle Physical Activity Intervention for Black Women with Asthma.
Trial report in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBlack women are disproportionately affected by both physical inactivity and asthma. Lifestyle physical activity (PA) interventions targeted for Black women with asthma are lacking.
objectiveTo assess the feasibility and acceptability as well as preliminary effects of a lifestyle PA intervention culturally tailored for Black women with asthma.
methodsBlack women (age 18-70 years) with uncontrolled asthma (Asthma Control Test <20) were recruited. Outcome assessments at baseline and 24 weeks included measures of: feasibility and acceptability, asthma control, quality of life, health care use, and PA levels. Participants were randomized to the intervention (asthma education, Fitbit, monthly group sessions, text messages, individual step goals, and study manual) or enhanced usual care (EUC) (asthma education plus Fitbit) group.
resultsOf the 53 women randomized (EUC = 28; intervention = 25), 92% remained in the intervention (23 of 25) and 76% completing the 24-week outcome assessment. Overall intervention satisfaction (mean score, 6.88 of 7) and individual components were high at 24 weeks. Mean change in asthma control questionnaire between groups was not significant at 24 weeks (intervention = -0.41 vs EUC = 0.03 [P = .08]; effect size = -0.38) but approached clinical significance (0.5). At 24 weeks, more women receiving the intervention had controlled asthma compared with EUC (36.84% vs 9.52%; P = .04). Clinically significant improvements (0.5) in quality of life were found in the intervention group (mean change: intervention = 0.58 vs EUC = 0.10; P = .10) at 24 weeks.
conclusionsA culturally tailored lifestyle PA intervention is feasible and demonstrates improvements in asthma control and quality of life among Black women with asthma. These preliminary findings support the need for PA lifestyle interventions in urban Black women with asthma.
