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

Objective: It is hypothesized that patients who are actively provided with more treatment-related education may report increased satisfaction and have improved overall outcomes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of an audiovisual education platform in patients undergoing head and neck surgery and to investigate whether patients using this module reported increased satisfaction. Methods: This was a prospective pilot study of patients undergoing major head and neck reconstructive surgery who were randomized to either (1) control group or (2) intervention (i.e., in-patient audiovisual educational module). Both study groups then completed a discharge survey. Results: Total 35 patients were recruited into the study ( Conclusion: This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of an audiovisual education platform in the postoperative setting for patients undergoing major head and neck reconstructive surgery. Although most patients found the module useful, future steps will incorporate patient feedback to further improve the educational platform and confirm the current preliminary impressions in prospective studies. Level of Evidence: 1b.
