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

backgroundSodium oxybate (Xyrem

objectiveWe report findings from a survey evaluating effectiveness of the European Union Xyrem PATIENTS AND

methodsA cross-sectional, online, multiple-choice survey was distributed to randomly selected healthcare professionals (HCPs) from six European countries (April 2016-May 2018). Eligibility criteria: current/potential Xyrem PRIMARY OUTCOME: proportion of respondents answering each question correctly (< 50% responses correct = unsatisfactory comprehension, 50% to < 70% = satisfactory, ≥ 70% = excellent), with precision assessed using 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsOf the 709 HCPs contacted, 601 did not agree to take part, 108 were screened with 35/108 eligible for inclusion; 31 HCPs completed the survey. Of the 31 respondents, 29 (93.5%; 95% CI 84.4-100.0) reported receiving Xyrem

conclusionsThese data demonstrate the importance of providing a range of educational materials. However, the low sample size limits interpretation; increased HCP engagement would improve understanding of how best to develop educational materials.
