Asthma control in adolescents: the importance of assessing adherence.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07364643 (Assessment of Asthma Management in Children Over 6 Years of Age and Their Caregivers. Implications for the Implementation of the SMART Strategy in Pediatrics.), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.

Abstract
Background Asthma control is the goal of the management, but some patients do not achieve adequate control. Adherence to prescriptions is a relevant factor in this issue. As very few studies addressed this problem in adolescents, we investigated this aspect in this setting. Methods This cross-sectional study consecutively enrolled 87 adolescents (60 males, 27 females, median age 14.2 years) with asthma visited at a third-level pediatric clinic. We used two questionnaires: Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and TAI. Results As regards MMAS-8, 23 (26.6%) adolescents had low adherence, 34 (39%) medium, and 30 (34.4%) high. Concerning TAI, 34 (39%) had low adherence, 43 (49.5%) medium, and 10 (11.5%) high. After stratification per asthma control grade, adolescents with partly-controlled asthma had the highest scores for medium adherence (p=0.0017 and 0.049, respectively for MMAS-8 and TAI). Conclusions Adolescents with asthma have poor adherence independently to the asthma control grade. This failure implicates that more attention should be paid to this issue in clinical practice.
