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

purposeThe objectives of the study were to examine (a) the types of questions that African American patients have about glaucoma for their providers and (b) how patients' sociodemographic characteristics are associated with where and from whom they would like to learn about glaucoma and glaucoma medications.

methodsForty-nine adult African American patients with glaucoma were recruited at a private ophthalmology clinic where they completed a questionnaire for this cross-sectional study.

resultsAfrican American patients had a mean of 3.9 questions for their ophthalmologists; the questions that patients checked as having most often were "What is my prognosis with glaucoma?" (49%) and "What is my intraocular pressure?" (45%). Seventy-six percent of patients preferred that an educational program about glaucoma be offered at the doctor's office and 39% preferred it be offered at a community or senior citizen center. Ninety percent said that the education program should be offered by doctors. Patients under the age of 70 were significantly more likely to want a program on the Internet than patients age 70 and over (Pearson χ = 4.7, P = .03). If an educational program was developed patients reported being most interested in the following topics, glaucoma medications (84%), what is glaucoma and what does it mean to have it? (83%).

conclusionsAfrican American patients have many questions about glaucoma for their eye care providers. African American patients would prefer glaucoma educational programs be offered at their provider's office. Our findings could be used to develop educational programs for African American patients with glaucoma.
