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
introductionAmong numerous chronic diseases of childhood and adolescence, bronchial asthma causes many psychological problems, and this is related to its course, long-term treatment and the requirement of self-control. One of the important factors affecting the mental condition of children with asthma is their beliefs about the disease. The attitude towards the illness is also an important factor influencing the prognosis, course of therapy and control of asthma.
aimTo understand the attitudes of children suffering from bronchial asthma towards their illness. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe survey was conducted in 2019 among 106 children with bronchial asthma aged 8-18 years (mean age: 13.5 ±0.83) treated at the University Children's Hospital in Lublin and their parents. The study used the Child Attitude Towards Illness Scale (CATIS) and an original questionnaire.
resultsThe research demonstrated that children's attitudes towards their own disease were quite varied. The mean of their scores in the CATIS scale ranged from 1.81 to 4.27, with the maximum value of the scale of 5, which means that negative or neutral attitudes prevailed.
conclusionsIn the studied group of children with asthma, negative or neutral attitudes towards their own disease prevailed, which depended mainly on the severity of the disease, the occurrence of exacerbations, self-control, as well as the family structure and place of residence. The CATIS scale can be useful in the work of many therapists as it can be used to assess and, possibly, change the unfavourable attitudes of chronically ill children towards their disease.
