Difference in the Perceptions of Asthma Control Between Children With Asthma and Their Parents.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the most prevalent chronic condition in children in primary care. Asthma control can be quantified using the Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT), which includes questions for both children and their parents. However, there can be discrepancies between children and parents in their perceptions of asthma control.
objectiveThis longitudinal study determines the difference in the perceptions of asthma control between children in primary care and their parents using the C-ACT, measured at five points in time.
methodChildren aged 6-12 with asthma who are being treated in primary care were eligible. Data was obtained using electronic questionnaires from the Rotterdam Asthma Trial from baseline to 18 months follow-up. The primary outcome was a difference in C-ACT scores between parents and their children. The data was analyzed using Spearman's correlation and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
resultsWe included 90 children and their parents. The mean age of the children was 9.6 years (SD 1.7). At baseline, the children gave a median C-ACT score of 9/12 (IQR 2.5) and the parents gave a median score of 14/15 (IQR 3.0). Children's median C-ACT scores were significantly lower throughout the study period (p < 0.001). The Spearman test showed moderate to strong correlation (0.659-0.775, and the ICC showed good agreement (0.750-0.813).
conclusionThis study showed that parents gave significantly higher scores for the individual items of the C-ACT than their children. Considering the child's perspective on their symptoms is crucial when deciding on additional asthma treatment measures.
