School Asthma Documentation Associated With Student Return to Class After Stock Inhaler Use.
Observational study in Academic pediatrics. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between asthma documentation at school (asthma diagnosis and asthma action plan [AAP]) and outcomes after stock inhaler use at school.
methodsThis observational study examined respiratory events and outcomes in a statewide program that provided albuterol metered dose inhalers to Illinois public schools. Nurses registered online and reported each inhaler use (event). This report collected individual characteristics, asthma documentation, and event outcomes. Analyses included Pearson's Chi-square tests, Fisher's exact tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and logistic regression models.
resultsIn 2023-2024 school year, 656 events occurred requiring stock inhaler use among students across Illinois schools. Students had an asthma diagnosis on file at school in 63% of events (n = 413); among these students, 42% had an AAP on file (42%, n = 175). For disposition after stock inhaler use, 76% of students returned to class (n = 497). Students with an asthma diagnosis documented at school had 2.6 times higher odds of returning to class after stock inhaler use versus those without documentation (95% CI 1.81-3.75). Similarly, students with asthma who also had AAPs on file at school had 2.41 times higher odds of returning to class after respiratory events versus those without AAPs (95% CI 1.39-4.33). These associations remained significant in adjusted models.
conclusionsIn a statewide stock inhaler program in Illinois, we found students with asthma diagnoses and AAPs documented at school had higher rates of return to class after stock inhaler use for respiratory symptoms compared to students without such documentation.
