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

Based on a theoretical framework describing culturally sensitive (CS) health communication, this experiment tested the relative contributions of surface structure and deep structure in the recall of oral health information from pamphlets varied in written message and images. Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, Spanish-speaking Mexican heritage mothers of children under six (n = 160) were randomly assigned to read one of four 12-page pamphlets containing the same oral health information in Spanish: (1) standard written message/standard images; (2) standard written message/CS images; (3) CS written message/standard images; and (4) CS written message/CS images. Participants completed a 22-item oral health knowledge questionnaire before and after reading the pamphlet. Controlling for the effects of pretest scores, acculturation, and educational level on information recall, findings showed significant positive main effects for CS images (F(1, 152) = 5.03, p = .026, partial ŋ
