Characterizing the Influence of Television Health Entertainment Narratives in Lay Populations: A Scoping Review.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo conduct a scoping review of published literature examining the influence of health storylines from fictional television programs on viewers. DATA SOURCE: We performed literature searches in Medline, PsycINFO, and Mass Media Complete in October 2021, and examined bibliographies of included articles and conducted forward searching using Web of Science with included articles. STUDY INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Selected studies were required to be original research published in English, involve exposure to fictional television programming by individuals not in the medical field, and assess associations between exposure and health-related outcomes. DATA EXTRACTION: Article screening and data abstraction were performed by two independent researchers using DistillerSR (Cohen's κ range: .73-1.00). DATA SYNTHESIS: We analyzed and qualitatively described the data using methods of scoping reviews described by PRISMA-ScR.
resultsOf 5,537 unique records identified, 165 met inclusion criteria. The most frequently studied program was
conclusionHealth storylines on fictional television influence viewers. Future research could address gaps identified in this review to further elucidate the influence of this programming on health promotion and disease prevention.
