1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Asthma education is an important component of asthma management and control. Technology-based approaches via mobile health applications have been studied in many different diseases, including asthma. Innovative educational approaches, such as augmented reality (AR) serious games, may be effective and appealing to caregivers of children with asthma, with the goal of improving asthma control. Objectives: The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to assess the usage, acceptability, and feasibility of an AR component to the Methods: This was an explanatory, sequential mixed-methods study. Quantitative data consisted of usage time within the app. Qualitative data consisted of semi-structured interviews evaluated via thematic analysis to identify recurring themes related to their experiences. Results: Time spent within the app decreased after the first week. The mean total time spent within the app was 8.6 min over an average of 14 weeks (range 9-19 weeks). Themes identified from thematic analysis included perceptions of the app as helpful to both participants and others with AR supporting asthma management skills. Some users reported technological challenges with using AR. Conclusions: Despite low usage of the
