Improving Patient Education Materials: A Practical Algorithm from Development to Validation.
Article in Current urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo generate an algorithm for systematic development and validation of written patient information in accordance with well-established and validated psychometric and statistical methods that can be applied to different fields of medicine.
methodsA literature search was carried out in PubMed and Google Scholar. Methods were selected and combined to an algorithm. Feasibility and practicability is tested by the development of patient education materials on "ureteral stenting".
resultsThe algorithm includes 4 study phases. After internal audit expert, readability of the first version is objectified using the Flesch Reading Ease formula. This draft is tested by a few patients performing semi-structured interviews using "
conclusionWe developed an algorithm for systematic development and validation of written patient information in accordance with well-established, validated psychometric and statistical methods. This algorithm can be applied to arbitrary fields of medicine.
