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

backgroundAsthma is a prevalent health concern among Illinois (IL) children, and management is significantly influenced by social determinants. There were 17 states who have adopted stock inhaler laws, but implementation varies widely.

objectiveTo assess critical barriers to implementation and address sustainability of stock inhaler programming in school-based asthma care in IL.

methodsSemistructured interviews were conducted with high asthma burden school districts in IL to assess barriers in implementing stock inhaler policies and resultant programming. Thematic analysis was performed using Atlas.ti (Scientific Software Development GmbH, Berlin, Germany) to identify and code "threats" to future sustainability. Data were synthesized and presented to stakeholders for barrier mitigation. A schematic flowchart outlining steps to support sustainability was created.

resultsA total of 18 interviews were conducted with key community partners across 8 IL school districts, representing rural, urban, and suburban areas. Analysis revealed 25 barriers, with several identified as "threats" to future sustainability, including liability concerns, follow-up care assurance, funding/resources, pharmacy dispensing practices, district-level readiness to change, and nurse staffing. Stakeholders formed a statewide coalition to address these barriers, increase awareness, plan evaluations, and advise on state funding allocation. A national stock inhaler toolkit tailored to school administrative needs was developed to support sustainability efforts.

conclusionStrategic stakeholder and community engagement are vital for establishing and sustaining stock inhaler programs that adhere to policy mandates. Many districts face challenges initiating and maintaining such programs without critical barrier mitigation and support. Collaborative solutions are necessary to ensure effective school-based asthma management and mitigate persistent pediatric asthma health disparities.
