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

aimTo enhance learning (knowledge, attitudes and practices) about the importance of family health history (FHH) information and familial risks.

methodsA pre-post design with one group was employed in this study. Five learning sessions were conducted with a community-based sample (n = 75) recruited from five counties in Texas, USA. Each learning session included: a short online video; enactive instructions on how to use the online Surgeon General FHH tool; and a presentation on how to assess familial risks. Participants completed the pre-post knowledge, attitudes and practices questionnaires and the study's satisfaction survey, and participated in a short focus group interview.

resultsParticipants' average age was 48.1 ± 13.3 years. Over half of the participants (79%) were female, and 55% described themselves as non-Hispanic White. Our findings showed significant changes (p < 0.05) in participants' specific knowledge about factors that affect their familial risks. Similarly, significant changes (p < 0.05) in participants' attitudes toward familial risks assessment for common disease complications and confidence in controlling these risks have been documented. Participants' reported a high level of satisfaction in using online FHH tools, yet no significant change (p > 0.05) was detected in their reported practices regarding sharing FHH information with their providers or relatives. Focus group interviews revealed that participants were uncertain about providers' or relatives' reactions to sharing FHH information.

conclusionUsing different learning styles may have a significant impact on improving knowledge and attitudes about familial risks.
