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

objectiveWeb-based education would be useful for gaining health-related behaviours. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of web-based education on Pap smear behaviours of teachers.

methodsThe study was an experimental-control groups with a longitudinal type. The sample consisted of 1,290 teachers (experimental: 678, control: 612). The educational videos about cervical cancer and Pap smear test were sent to the experimental group via the web. Three months later, the teachers in both groups were contacted by telephone and asked whether they have a Pap smear test or not, reasons for not having it and test results. A qualitative interview was conducted with 20 teachers in the experimental group to evaluate the web-based education.

resultsAt the beginning of the study, 25.9% of the teachers in both groups had a Pap smear test. After three months, having a Pap smear test was found to be statistically significantly higher in the experimental group (31.6%) than the control group (23.2%). According to the result of pathology, in the control group cervical cancer (n = 1), in the experimental group CIN1 (n = 1) and HPV53 (n = 1) were diagnosed.

conclusionThe web-based education was found to be effective in Pap smear behaviours of teachers.
