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
Objectives: To describe the importance of Health clubs in Asthma management in Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi state. Design: a cross-sectional qualitative study using focus group discussions (FGD) and Key informant interviews (KII). Setting: the study was conducted from June to July 2019 at the Pulmonology Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, a tertiary health facility in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Participants: 15 out of 25 caregivers of our pediatric asthma clients who attend the Asthma club and nine key informants drawn from club members and some care givers. Data Collection/Intervention: With informed consent, data were collected from participants using recorded interviews. Statistical analysis/Main outcome measure: This was done using the descriptive phenomenological psychological by sorting out each description's explanation and separating them into inferred meaning units for analyses and discussion for easier analysis. Results: Out of 25 caregivers invited, 15 participated in the FGD, all were females aged 32-57 years. For the KII, two out of nine participants were males, three were parents (adults), whereas six were children, 9 to 16 years. Generally, most respondents expressed that the Asthma club improved their sense of well-being y providing a better understanding of the illness, and skills for its management. Conclusion: The asthma club provides informational and affirmational supportive value to clients. We encourage as many centres as possible to raise an asthma club for more effective health communication and asthma care. Funding: none declared.
