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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine whether nutrition knowledge differs between male and female Kuwaiti health influencers in social media (Instagram).

designA cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the nutrition knowledge of male and female Kuwaiti health influencers in social media (Instagram) utilizing a multiple-choice questionnaire with sixteen questions.

settingKuwaiti health influencers in social media (Instagram). SUBJECTS: One hundred Kuwaiti health influencers (fifty males; fifty females) in social media (Instagram).

resultsA response rate of 70% was accomplished (thirty-two males; thirty-eight females). The correctly answered questions had a mean percentage of 60% with averages of 65% and 60% for correct responses by males and females, respectively (P=0.039). Only, two questions demonstrated significantly different scores for male and female groups (P<0.05). The two age groups (<30 years; ≥30 years) displayed mean percentage scores of 61% and 63%, respectively (P=0.081).

conclusionsKuwaiti health influencers in social media were unable to provide accurate information concerning common health problems including obesity, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
