Increasing exposure to complementary and alternative medicine treatment options through the design of a social media tool.
Review in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The current study outlines the creation of an online community designed to connect patients to providers of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and western biomedicine. The purpose of the site was to create a forum for patients and healthcare providers to share information and social support regarding eight popular CAM treatments. First, we created a prototype and pilot tested it through a usability analysis. Second, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 key stakeholders from the CAM, biomedicine, and patient populations. Third, we conducted a content analysis of the discussion forums to examine common posting behaviour. We found that CAM providers were the most active contributors to the forums. This project provides proof of concept for using an online community platform to connect patients and CAM providers. Future work should attempt to engage Western medicine providers while studying techniques and features that best engage users.
