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

backgroundAnxiety and depression may affect asthma control. Previously, it has been reported that the hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS) questionnaire was fruitful in the management of adolescents with asthma. This study compared the scores of two different questionnaires, namely the Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index (CASI) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), with asthma control level and lung function in asthmatic adolescents, evaluated in a real-life setting.

methodsA group of adolescents with asthma was consecutively enrolled. Asthma was diagnosed according to the GINA document, and consistently the symptom control grade was assessed. The adolescents completed the CASI, CDI, and Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaires. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for asthma symptoms perception and doctor's asthma control evaluation were considered. Lung function and clinical characteristics were also assessed.

resultsTotally, 87 asthmatic adolescents (60 males, 27 females, median age 14.2 years) were evaluated. 16.1% of asthmatic adolescents had anxious symptoms detected by CASI, and 11.5% depressive symptoms revealed by CDI. High scores of both CASI and CDI were significantly associated with uncontrolled asthma (p= 0.013 and 0.043, respectively).

conclusionsThis study showed that anxiety and depression affected asthma control. Thus, in clinical practice, the psychological assessment could be included in asthmatic adolescents' asthma work-up.
