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

introductionAlmost all parents seek online child-related information. This study focuses on parents' experience of using information from an easy-to-read parenting website, Naître et Grandir (N&G), specifically parents with low socioeconomic status (SES). SES is correlated with health literacy, a major determinant of child education and health. In January 2019, the Information Assessment Method (IAM) questionnaire was improved and implemented in a smartphone application (IAM + N&Gsmart) to reach more low SES parents.

objectivesWe measured the influence of IAM + N&Gsmart on the frequency with which low SES parents responded to the IAM survey of N&G webpages and the relative proportions of anticipated benefits of the N&G content. We also compared these benefits among fathers and mothers.

methodsThis was a 4-year prospective time series. For each N&G webpage, parents were invited to complete an IAM questionnaire and report anticipated outcomes. IAM data were collected before (2017-2018) and after (2019-2020) the intervention (IAM + N&Gsmart launch) from Quebec parents of 0-8-year-old children who completed at least one IAM questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were applied.

resultsParticipants completed 10,362 IAM questionnaires. Low SES participants anticipated more benefits than other participants, and particularly low SES fathers more than low SES mothers. The proportion of responses and reported benefits from low SES participants increased post-intervention. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: Results suggest that increasing literacy-oriented web content can lead to greater benefits among low SES parents, and that increasing father awareness and father-inclusive content can lead to even greater benefits among low SES fathers.
