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.

Abstract

backgroundUrban minority preschool children are disproportionately affected by asthma with increased asthma morbidity and mortality. It is important to understand how families manage asthma in preschool children to improve asthma control.

objectiveTo evaluate family asthma management and asthma outcomes among a low-income urban minority population of Head Start preschool children.

methodsThe family asthma management system scale (FAMSS) evaluates how families manage a child's asthma. A total of 388 caregivers completed the FAMSS at baseline. Asthma outcomes were evaluated at baseline and prospectively at 6 months, including asthma control (based on the Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids), courses of oral corticosteroids (OCSs) required, and caregiver health-related quality of life (Pediatric Asthma Caregiver's Quality of Life Questionnaire [PACQLQ]). Multiple regression models evaluated the relationship between the FAMSS total score, FAMSS subscales, and asthma outcomes.

resultsHigher FAMSS total scores were associated with fewer courses of OCSs required (b = -0.23, P < .01) and higher PACQLQ scores (b = 0.07, P < .05). At baseline, higher integration subscale scores (b = -0.19, P < .05) were associated with fewer courses of OCSs required, and higher family response scores were associates with higher PACQLQ scores (b = 0.06, P < .05). Nevertheless, higher collaboration scores were associated with lower PACQLQ at baseline (b = -0.06, P < .05) and 6 months (b = -0.07, P < .05).

conclusionAmong this population of low-income minority preschool children, understanding how a family manages their child's asthma may help identify gaps for education to possibly improve caregiver asthma-related quality of life and reduce courses of OCSs.
