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: Schools are critical places to support children with asthma. Few school-based interventions focus on classmates without asthma, who can influence peers' asthma self-management. Objective: To describe a one-session asthma curriculum for all Kindergarten-8th grade students and evaluate impact on knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Methods: In collaboration with three Chicago schools, we adapted and implemented a one-session asthma curriculum for K-8th grades. Students completed a post-session survey to assess asthma knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Pearson's Chi-squared tests analyzed differences between grades and student-reported asthma diagnosis. Results: In total, 603 students participated in a session, of which 485 completed the survey; 19% reported having asthma. Most students correctly answered knowledge questions on pathophysiology (82%), transmission (79%), symptoms (65%), triggers (65%), medication use (90%), and episode management (51%). More older students understood pathophysiology (85% vs. 72%, Conclusion: Students had high asthma knowledge and self-efficacy after a one-session all-student asthma curriculum; attitudes were mixed. School-based asthma education is feasible and has positive outcomes for all K-8th grade students.
