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.

However, patient education tasks in this group are a challenge for health care provider team but due to increase in the incidence of MS, a new category of contact, care, and education seems to be useful. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of electronic education and illustrated booklet on knowledge of patients with MS.

All patients attended MS clinic located at the Ayatollah Kashani Hospital conducted to Isfahan Neurosciences Research Center (INRC). Patients were divided randomly into two equal groups: (1) Electronic education (

resultsAlthough there was not any significant difference between the knowledge score of electronic education and illustrated booklet group before intervention (18 ± 2.2 vs. 17.01 ± 3.4(, (

conclusionThe electronic educational program applied in this study appears increased knowledge of patients with MS. Therefore, the conveyance of this program to earn time for patient and healthcare provider team is suggested as a valuable and appropriate teaching method.
