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

Cognitive load predicts one's ability to process information and learn from decision support interventions. The present study compared intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load levels resulting from exposure to two different electronic decision aids. A convenience sample of ninety-seven surrogate decision makers for critically ill patients were randomly assigned to receive either a single dose of a video-based or avatar-based decision aid. Intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load levels among recipients of the video-based decision support resource were lower than recipients of the avatar-based decision support resource. After controlling for age, the observed differences in intrinsic cognitive load were not significantly different, whereas the observed differences in extraneous cognitive load remained. Extraneous cognitive load is a modifiable factor to consider for future developers of decision support interventions that may determine the efficacy of efforts to support patients and family members with decision making.
