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
Background: This study aimed to explore the developmental trajectories and influencing factors of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medication adherence among pediatric asthma patients managed through the remote collaborative model based on the China Childhood Asthma Action Plan (CCAAP). Methods: A total of 249 pediatric asthma patients who were followed up at a respiratory specialty outpatient clinic between January 2022 and November 2024 were recruited using convenience sampling. The instruments consisted of a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Bronchial Asthma Medication Adherence Scale, an asthma knowledge questionnaire, and an inhaled medication error rate assessment form. Medication adherence was evaluated at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months. Latent Category Growth Analysis (LCGA) was employed to identify adherence trajectories, and unordered multinomial logistic regression was conducted to examine the influencing factors. Results: Four distinct adherence trajectories were identified, including the Declining Adherence group (6.02%), the Rapid Improvement group (8.03%), the Persistent Adherence group (71.08%), and the Gradual Improvement group (14.86%). The groups differed significantly in parental education, peak flow meter usage, concerns regarding steroid medication, history of severe exacerbations, asthma knowledge level, and 6-month medication error rate. Multivariate analysis indicated that pre-visit asthma knowledge, 6-month medication error rate, peak flow meter usage, concerns about steroid medication, and parental education were significant determinants of the Rapid Improvement group. Severe exacerbations at 3 months were related to the Gradual Improvement group, whereas recent severe exacerbations and the 6-month medication error rate were associated with the Declining Adherence group. Conclusion: ICS adherence within the CCAAP telemedicine-based management model demonstrates substantial heterogeneity. Identifying distinct trajectories enables early detection of non-adherence risk and supports personalized intervention strategies, which may significantly improve asthma control and resource allocation in remote care settings. Implementing stratified management based on these findings can enhance long-term treatment efficacy and pediatric asthma outcomes.
