Health Supports Learning: Academic Outcomes Improved by the School-Based Asthma Therapy Program.
Article in The Journal of school health, 2026. 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
backgroundSchool nurses are vital to childhood asthma management. Although school-based asthma therapy (SBAT) improves clinical outcomes, its academic impact remains unclear. SBAT reduces barriers to guideline-based care through directly observed preventive medication therapy for children with persistent, poorly controlled asthma.
methodsRetrospective academic record review (2013-2019) for 552 SBAT-enrolled children in a large urban district. Outcomes included missed instructional time, behavioral incidents, and grades compared across 4 quarters pre- and post-enrollment, stratified by school level, sex, race/ethnicity, and SES.
resultsUnexcused hours decreased significantly post-SBAT: 17% elementary; 53% middle/high school, with no sex or race/ethnicity differences. Excused hours decreased 27% among middle/high school students. Level 2 incidents decreased 32% in elementary and 34% in middle/high school students. Females had more excused hours and Level 1/2 behavioral incidents than males, while Black elementary students had fewer Level 1/2 incidents than Whites. Grades did not change significantly. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH, POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: SBAT has potential as an equity-promoting school healthcare practice to mitigate disparities in asthma morbidity, absenteeism, and school engagement among students in disadvantaged communities.
conclusionsSBAT highlights potential educational benefits, supporting integration of guideline-based asthma management into routine school health services.
