Figure 6 is a bar graph that summarizes the number of published studies that reported important asthma outcomes. Nine bars are arrayed from left to right, each representing a different patient outcome. The bar farthest to the left indicates that 8 studies measured asthma control in study participants. The next bar shows that 11 studies reported on the prevalence of asthma symptoms. The third bar from the left shows that 10 studies collected data on emergency department visits by asthma patients, and the next bar indicates that 9 studies reported data about hospitalizations. The bar in the middle reveals that only 3 studies provided data about medication use. Moving farther toward the right side, the next bar shows that 12 studies assessed asthma knowledge. The bar after that one indicates that 12 studies examined asthma-related quality of life. The next bar shows that 6 studies described school absences as an important outcome. Finally, the bar on the right side indicates that 3 studies measured how patients changed their behaviors in order to avoid asthma triggers.
