Effectiveness of pediatric asthma education program in the context of a general hospital in France: A retrospective real-life study.

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
Objective: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a pediatric asthma education program delivered in the context of a French suburban general hospital. Design: Monocentric retrospective study including children with asthma in Melun, Île-de-France, from January to December 2019. Data collected concerned asthma management, symptoms, education, and knowledge. Results: We included 262 patients with a median age of 4.5 years. Asthma education (AE) was taught to 226 (86 %) children, 36 with minimal education (ME), 155 (69 %) with an unstructured asthma education program (USEP) and 71 (31 %) a structured asthma education program (SEP). Patients with an SEP had better knowledge of the disease and its treatment as compared with those with a USEP or ME (p < 0.05). Lung function was evaluated for 70 % of children with ME, 90 % with a USEP (p = 0.144) and 77 % an SEP (p = 0.455). Allergy testing was assessed for 42 % of children with ME, 69 % a USEP (p = 0.020) and 57 % an SEP (p = 0.185). Almost all children with USEP (93 %) and SEP (94 %) also had a written asthma action plan as compared with 49 % of the children with ME (p < 0.001). Also, 76 % of children with ME did not have an asthma follow-up as compared with 37 % with a USEP and 52 % an SEP. Overall, 69 % of children with ME had at least one hospitalization within the year as compared with 32 % with a USEP (p = 0.001) and 59 % an SEP (p = 0.506). Conclusions: An asthma education program delivered in a general hospital resulted in increased disease knowledge for children and their caregivers, together with reduced acute interventions.
