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

Background: Improper inhaler technique negatively impacts asthma control, yet data on this issue in Vietnam remain limited. This study assessed the prevalence and impact of improper inhaler technique on pediatric asthma control and examined the role of caregivers in this context. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among children with asthma and their caregivers. Logistic regression analyzed associations between improper inhaler technique, uncontrolled asthma, and caregivers' attitudes and practices in asthma management. Results: Among 186 children, 45.2% had improper inhaler technique, which was independently associated with uncontrolled asthma (AOR = 2.33, 95% CI: 1.27-4.3, Conclusion: Improper inhaler technique is common and associated with poor asthma control. Caregivers' involvement in medication adherence and monitoring plays a crucial role in addressing this issue.
