Effectiveness of eAsthmaCare on Symptoms, Childhood Asthma Control Test, and Lung Function among Asthmatic Children.
Trial report in Journal of medical systems, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A web-based self-health management system-eAsthmaCare, was developed as an intervention for asthmatic children. A randomized controlled trial was performed. Consent was obtained for 98 children with asthma to participate in the study and the pre- and post-test data collection process. The experimental group was given access to eAsthmaCare online management, the control group was subjected to general asthma management. The experimental and control groups' asthma symptoms, Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) scores, and lung function were evaluated, and their pre- and 3-month post-test results were compared. The following records were maintained: (1) medication record (2) daily asthma symptoms log (3) monthly C-ACT and lung function records. The C-ACT results indicated a p-value of < .01 for: overall improvements to childhood asthma symptoms, time effect, group and time interaction effects, and group and time interaction effects in relation to sleeping condition on the previous day; cough symptom time effect, and group and time interaction effects; the two groups' time effect in relation to cough symptoms; the two groups' time effect in relation to monthly activity restrictions (number of days); and the two groups' time effect in relation to nasal symptoms; the two groups' time effect; and group and time interaction effects (p < .01). In terms of the predictive values for lung function (FVC, FEV1, PEFR), the improvements in both groups were not statistically significant. The implementation of the eAsthmaCare intervention might have a positive impact on pediatric patients, making it an effective management tool for monitoring asthmatic children's physical function and discomfort.
