Internet access, usage and trust among medical professionals in China: A web-based survey.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2020. 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
objectivesSocial media has changed methods of communication in the medical profession. As part of a "doctor as communicator" strategy, Chinese medical professionals are actively embracing social media, which may have an impact on tense physician-patient relationships in China. This paper aims to examine a pattern of Internet access, Internet usage, and trust among Chinese medical professionals and further explores the reasons for these relationships on an individual level. DESIGNS: A web-based questionnaire was designed, based on a media literacy model, and was divided into 3 dimensions: public information, general medical information, and specialty information. After a two-round pilot study, 1001 physicians were included. Additionally, 4 interviewees were chosen to participate in in-depth interviews and content analysis was performed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0.
resultsFindings showed that new media has become a major approach for medical professionals in China to retrieve and get access to various information. However, they still trust traditional media (
conclusionsScience popularization is a specific usage of new media among Chinese medical professionals, through which they have achieved new authority and empowered communication because of self-media. To some extent, physician-patient relationships in China can be improved because this online interaction is conducive to building harmonious and lasting offline physician-patient relationships.
