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

Background: Burn injuries are amongst the most devastating causes of trauma worldwide. Preventive measures can be of great value in decreasing burn incidents. Increasing the knowledge and education of patients is a crucial step in this process. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, we evaluated 82 patients with burn injuries who were divided into two groups randomly during the 2018 to 2019 at Shahid Motahari Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The first group received an e-Book, and the second group a paperback booklet to read before visiting their primary care. Besides, both groups received a questionnaire on their knowledge of burn injuries and prevention before and after the visit. The e-Book and paperback booklet included basic information about burn injuries and preventive measures. We compared the questionnaire results in both groups before and after reading the e-book and booklet using a paired t-test analysis. Results: There was a significant improvement in self-reported knowledge of burn prevention (P < 0.05; CI: 95%). Subjects receiving the eBook performed significantly had better post-survey (P < .01, 95% CI), despite equivalent pre-survey scores compared to those receiving the booklet. Conclusion: Increased use of interactive educational modalities, such as an e-book, can benefit patients with knowledge of their disease and improve the quality of care. These modalities may increase compliance with the physician's recommendations regarding their disease states and treatments.
