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
backgroundAsthma is a common chronic respiratory disease that severely affects children's health and leads to anxiety and depressive symptoms. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the correlation between asthma control status and depressive symptoms in children with asthma.
methodsThis study included pediatric asthma patients (n = 117) who were admitted to Jiaozhou Central Hospital of Qingdao between January 2021 and January 2023. Based on asthma control status, the patients were divided into well-controlled (n = 67) and poorly controlled (n = 50) groups. Various parameters, including asthma control, depressive symptoms, respiratory function, sleep quality, physical activity, and quality of life, were assessed through standardized assessments, medical records, and participant, or caregiver reports. The data was comparatively analyzed between the two groups.
resultsWe observed no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two experimental groups (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the well-controlled group demonstrated better asthma control with lower hospitalizations, emergency visits, and higher asthma control test scores (p < 0.001). Additionally, the well-controlled group exhibited better respiratory function with higher forced vital capacity (FVC), better ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity, higher maximal mid-expiratory flow, higher forced expiratory flow between 25%-75% of FVC, and higher total lung capacity (p < 0.001). Moreover, the symptom score (p < 0.001), activity restriction score (p = 0.001), and affective function score (p < 0.001) were significantly higher for the well-controlled group compared to the poorly controlled group. Additionally, the well-controlled group showed lower levels of childhood depression, as evidenced by lower Children's Depression Inventory scores (p < 0.001).
conclusionOur findings provide strong evidence of the association between asthma control status and childhood depressive symptoms in pediatric asthma patients. Effective asthma management was associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, better respiratory function, improved sleep quality, increased physical activity, and higher quality of life, highlighting the need for comprehensive care and integrated management approaches in pediatric asthma to optimize health outcomes. These findings hold significance for clinical practice, offering valuable insights into the subtle factors influencing asthma control and depressive symptoms in pediatric asthma patients.
