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

Objective: To systematically review the scientific literature examining parents' experiences and information needs for the management of their child's asthma exacerbations. Methods: We searched five databases for quantitative and qualitative studies in Canada and the United States from 2002 onwards. A convergent integrated approach and the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool were used to analyze and appraise the evidence, respectively. Results: We included 84 studies (27 quantitative, 54 qualitative, 3 mixed methods). Some parents lacked confidence in recognizing or managing exacerbations. A few parents were uncertain when and where to seek medical help. The main barrier to accessing care was cost. Impacts on parents included poor sleep, distress, and lifestyle disruptions. Parents felt they lacked information and wanted education on treatments and how to recognize and manage exacerbations via education sessions, written materials, community outreach and online resources. Conclusion: Improved education for parents may help reduce parents' stress, asthma-related morbidities for children and use of urgent health services. Innovation: The development of tailored interventions and knowledge translation strategies with input from target audiences (e.g. parents, health care providers) is necessary to meet their information needs and support adherence to clinical recommendations.
