Improving patient understanding and outcomes in myelodysplastic syndromes - An animated patient guide to MDS with visual formats of learning.
Article in Leukemia research reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: Patient education resources that address barriers to health literacy to improve understanding and outcomes in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact and outcomes benefits of Methods: This was a retrospective study of learner feedback, metrics, and utilization data from July 2018 to August 2021. We evaluated audience reach (number of visit sessions, unique visitors, page views) and calculated top views by media type (animation, expert video, patient video, and slide show) and top retention videos from the modules. We also assessed the educational impact and utilization through learner feedback surveys. Results: During the study period, 'You and MDS' had 233,743 views worldwide of which 104,214 were unique visitors and 78,161 (or 76% unique visitors) were from the United States. Of these, 61% were patients; 29% family members or caregivers; 5% were healthcare providers and 5% represented other groups. Most popular topics viewed among the animations were "Understanding Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)" (40,219 views), "Managing and Treating MDS" (19,240 views), "Understanding Erythropoiesis" (17,564 views.) The most popular expert videos viewed were "What is iron overload, and how it is treated?" (20,310 views), "How serious a cancer is MDS? What is the prognosis for MDS?" (8,327 views), "What is MDS?" (3,157 views). Of participants who completed the online feedback survey, ≥ 95% reported improved knowledge gains and commitments to change. Conclusions: MDS patients using 'You and MDS - An Animated Patient's Guide to MDS' and its visual formats of learning represented a wide U.S. and global learner audience. This MDS educational resource had a significant impact on improved understanding among patients, families, and caregivers. Continued efforts should be made to provide patient-effective resources that address health literacy, improve patient understanding, and address educational needs that respond to the concerns of patients to achieve better quality of life and improved health outcomes in MDS.
