Preliminary study of a web-based tool for enhancing the informed consent process in schizophrenia research.
Trial report in Schizophrenia research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Printed research consent forms serve to legally document what has been disclosed, but are usually suboptimal as a means of actually communicating that information to potential participants. We conducted a preliminary study of web-based multimedia consent. Participants included 19 patients with schizophrenia and 16 normal comparison (NC) subjects randomly assigned to a routine or web-media consent. Although comprehension among NCs was excellent regardless of consent condition, the web-based consent was associated with better comprehension and satisfaction among patients with schizophrenia. Findings suggest that web-aided multimedia consent is feasible and potentially more effective than printed consent forms in schizophrenia research.
