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

Lack of effective medical treatment in infantile colic (IC) causes desperate mothers to apply for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments. Due to the possibility of benefits, the risks that may be incurred by these methods are often ignored by the parents. Therefore, information on the use of CAM methods in IC is needed. The aim of this study is to reveal the CAM experiences of mothers in IC treatment and the demographic characteristics that affect them. Mothers whose children were diagnosed as IC by a physician in the past were included in the study. The sociodemographic characteristics of the mothers, IC-diagnosed baby characteristics and CAM experiences were investigated face to face with a structured questionnaire. Sixty-six of 96 mothers who participated in the study used the CAM method. There was a statistically significant difference between the use of CAM and the education level of mothers (
