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

The Internet has affected pediatricians and the families they serve in many ways by empowering users to manage information, and to communicate faster and more effectively. The Internet allows practitioners to store, retrieve, and manipulate patient-specific and general medical information within increasingly sophisticated integrated systems, allowing 'just-in-time' information at the point of care. Related technologies allow asynchronous, real-time, and mobile communication with colleagues, patients, and health organizations. These same technologies have empowered patients to seek health information independently from online libraries, support groups, and second opinions not previously available, creating knowledgeable and value-conscious healthcare consumers, thus evolving the nature of the physician-patient relationship. Because of these technology advances and their present and future effects on practice and patients, it is increasingly important for the general pediatrician to be aware of the potentials, practicalities, and pitfalls of the Internet with regard to general pediatrics.
