Implementation of an Educational iPad Application for Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) contributes to a high public health burden in Australia from chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Health literacy impacts on multiple aspects of long term management, including surveillance and long term follow up. We designed and implemented a multilingual educational iPad application for outpatients to use while in the clinic waiting room. The application employed an interactive and multimodal approach to education. It utilized graphics, audio and text to convey practical information regarding transmission of disease, long term complications, treatment and surveillance. Participants were recruited from a tertiary liver clinic and assigned to either standard treatment (routine clinical consult only) or the iPad group (clinical consult and additional education with the iPad app). There were 54 participants (control
