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

backgroundThe aim of the study was to develop a high-quality valid patient information website with regard to hypodontia and its management, and to test its effectiveness in delivering this information.

methodsA patient-based hypodontia website was created and placed on the Trust's website. It was then validated using five website assessment tools: Flesch reading ease score, LIDA, DISCERN, Journal of American Medical Association and Health on the Net seal. A cross-sectional prospective design was adopted using a 15-item questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of the newly created hypodontia website in helping participants understand their management. New patients attending their first hypodontia clinic consultation appointment were invited to complete the questionnaire both before and after visiting the website.

resultsThe newly created hypodontia website scored well with the website validation tools in comparison with previously assessed hypodontia websites. Forty participants (25 female) took part in the questionnaire study, with a mean age of 15.3 (SD 6.1) years. After visiting the website, 85% of participants felt the website was helpful in understanding hypodontia, with an observed improvement in all domains of the questionnaire, reaching statistical significance (

conclusionThis study found that patients felt that a hypodontia website was effective in improving their perceived knowledge of hypodontia.
