Impact of Rural School-Based Health Centers on Asthma Management.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo test the hypothesis that students with asthma who have access to school-based health centers (SBHCs) receive more recommended preventive care and use less emergency care, we compared patterns of health care utilization among rural students with asthma by SBHC access. STUDY
designUsing a cross-sectional design, we analyzed encounters for all patients ages 4 through 19 living in 4 counties covered by a health care system that sponsors a network of SBHCs in rural upstate New York. Patient addresses for each encounter were geocoded to school districts, allowing us to determine whether students lived in districts with (n = 15) or without (n = 23) a SBHC. We measured utilization among students with asthma in 2016 and 2017, comparing measures by SBHC access. Students with asthma were identified using International Classification of Diseases diagnosis codes from visits in the 2 calendar years prior to each analysis year.
resultsStudents in districts with SBHCs had greater odds of 2 or more asthma-related office visits (odds ratio [OR] = 2.23; 95% CI: 1.66-2.99) and 1 or more well-child visits (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 1.03-1.50) than their peers in districts without SBHCs. Students in districts with SBHCs had lower odds of a respiratory-related convenient care or emergency department visit (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.30-0.67). Across outcomes, differences were greatest when comparing students who utilized the SBHC in their district with students in districts who did not have access to a SBHC.
conclusionsRural students with asthma who have access to SBHCs have greater opportunities for preventive asthma care per national guidelines and use emergency departments and convenient care less.
