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

Objectives: Knowledge and health literacy enable patients to monitor symptoms and disease impact. Educational needs have previously been explored in rheumatology, but scarcely for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). The aim of the study was to assess the educational needs among patients with AAV using the educational needs assessment tool (ENAT). Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study including adults with AAV. Educational needs were captured by ENAT. Total ENAT (0-117 points, with higher numbers indicating higher educational need) and the seven domains (managing pain, movement, feelings, disease process, treatment, self-management and support systems) were explored regarding sex, age, education, diagnosis, disease duration and disease activity. To compare domains, a percentage response (0-100%) was calculated. Results: One hundred and seventy-eight individuals (50% men; 34% with disease duration ≤2 years) were included. The total ENAT mean was 66.5 (s.d. 26.6; 57%), with domains as follows: disease process, 78%; self-management, 69%; treatments, 64%; feelings, 56%; managing pain, 48%; support systems, 47%; and movement, 41%. Higher educational needs were found among women in the domains movement, feelings and disease process and in total ENAT (all Conclusion: This study revealed great educational needs among AAV patients. Some groups expressed higher needs (women and those with shorter disease duration). Increased education for patients with AAV might lead to improved self-care and treatment adherence.
