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

Evidence-based health information is intended to empower people to make informed health decisions and include their personal goals and expectations by providing them with neutral and understandable content. To achieve this, a number of requirements must be followed in the production of health information, which are described in this article. These include, among other things, systematic research, a reasoned selection of appropriate evidence, and consideration of current evidence to communicate numbers, risks, and probabilities. Implementation must also take into account the issues, competencies and usage patterns of the groups for which the information is intended. A number of German-language information services demonstrate that implementation of these requirements is feasible for the general public.
