The use of information and communication technologies by arthritis health professionals to disseminate a self-management program to patients: a pilot randomized controlled trial protocol.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
STUDY POPULATION: Three-hundred and twenty-seven arthritis health professionals (i.e., nurses or physical/occupational therapists) registered with their regulatory body in Canada, currently practicing clinically defined as spending a minimum of 50% of their time (working week) in direct arthritis patient care.
interventionsThe proposed RCT will include three information and communication technology (ICT) intervention groups: Facebook, email, and an educational website. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome will be perceived usefulness by health professionals of using the ICT intervention to share information with their patients according to the technology acceptance model 2 (TAM2) questionnaire at two weeks post-intervention. Secondary outcomes will include other usability domains of the TAM2 questionnaire (i.e., perceived ease of use, result demonstrability, output quality, job relevance, image, voluntariness, subjective norm, and intention to use) at two weeks, three months, and six months post-intervention.
