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

This work analyzed the six official statements of the president of Brazil that were broadcast on radio and television during the first 4 months of COVID-19 contamination in the country, regarding the efficacy in communicating the crisis and dimensions of rules. We observed a higher frequency of ineffective excerpts in the statements, especially in the categories "effective fear incitement" and "respect." The categories "speed" and "expression of empathy" showed high efficacy. Additionally, there was a higher recurrence of implicit and inaccurate rules and rules opposing the recommendations of experts. These results indicate that the analyzed statements were ineffective in crisis communication and control of behaviors combating the pandemic in Brazil. The analysis of governmental practices by behavioral science can be useful in the planning of public policies.
