The impact of asthma education grounded in virtual reality technology upon the quality of life of pediatric patients with bronchial asthma.

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: Asthma education stands as a pivotal element in the long - term management of asthma. This research endeavors to delve into the influence of virtual reality (VR) technology - based asthma education on the quality of life of children suffering from bronchial asthma. Methods: 81 children with bronchial asthma from the Sixth Hospital of Shijiazhuang (Aug 2023-Aug 2024) were randomly divided into VR (40 cases) and asthma education (41 cases) groups. The latter received conventional education, while the former used VR technology. C - ACT, CDI, SCARED, MMAS - 8, and PAQLQ were used for assessment. Surveys on help - seeking times and VR device satisfaction were also conducted. Results: After and three months after the intervention, the VR group had higher C - ACT scores, more well - controlled asthma cases, lower CDI scores, fewer children with poor medication adherence, and higher MMAS - 8 scores than the asthma education group. Whether with severe or mild asthma, VR - based education improved C - ACT scores and the number of well - controlled cases. The VR group also had higher PAQLQ scores in symptoms, activity limitation, emotional function, and overall score. They accessed educational materials more often. 92.5% of parents/guardians were satisfied with VR devices and the program. Conclusion: Implementing VR technology - based asthma education for children with bronchial asthma can enhance the asthma control status, effectively mitigate the children's negative emotions, augment medication adherence, and ultimately elevate their quality of life.
