Impact of online therapeutic education on asthma control in youth: an emergency department study.
Article in La Tunisie medicale, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionAsthma is a widespread chronic respiratory disease. It affects all age groups, mainly youth. Its management aims to prevent exacerbations and ensure normal daily-life activity. Current international recommendations attach particular importance to the therapeutic education to improve asthma control and reduce emergency room visits.
aimTo assess the impact of online therapeutic education for youth asthmatics initiated in the emergency department on the level of asthma's control.
methodsDescriptive-evaluative study conducted over six months including asthmatics aged 14 to 35 years old living in Ariana. Asthma control was evaluated according to the 2019 Global Initiative for Asthma recommendations with a reassessment at three months after online therapeutic education.
resultsN=75; 18% of patients were adolescents, sex-ratio = 0.56. University education was noted in 73% of cases and high socioeconomic status in 48% of subjects. 55% of participants had no basic knowledge of the asthma's pathophysiology. Moderate classification of the last exacerbation was noted in 71% of patients and humidity was the most common exacerbation trigger (76%). A significant improvement in asthma control was observed after therapeutic education (p <0.001) with a positive correlation with female gender (p=0.048), basic knowledge of asthma's pathophysiology (p=0.001) and mild classification of the last exacerbation (p=0.039). Male gender and humidity as exacerbation trigger were independent factors negatively influencing control outcome after therapeutic education.
conclusionThe emergency department is the referral unit of the management of asthmatics with acute events. This represents an important opportunity to share educational messages that have proven effective using an online model.
