[Introduction to the quality of medical journalism and initial assessments of COVID-19 media coverage].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2021. 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
The media landscape is subject to constant change; innovative media technologies increasingly influence the world we live in. While digital media are increasingly being consumed by all age groups and laypersons frequently obtain information on health and medical topics on the Internet, the question of the quality of (journalistic) content on the Web arises. The roles of journalists are changing and scientists are experiencing new opportunities and challenges in the digital distribution of research results. Which qualitative requirements have to be met by these contents and which potentials and opportunities, but also risks, do online disseminated and received information entail?This article describes the topics of medical and health communication and the processes of journalistic reporting. Subsequently, we discuss the criterion of "evidence," which is already established in medicine, as a possible approach to the evaluation of health-relevant and medical information. Finally, we discuss the corona pandemic in the context of growing media populism.
