Web-Based Educational Resources for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease: Availability and Reliability.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Arabic is the primary language used in the Middle East, where sickle cell disease (SCD) is prevalent. This study aims to quantify Arabic web educational materials for patients with SCD and provide a descriptive standardized assessment. Methods and Materials: This retrospective, descriptive study aimed to analyze Arabic websites on SCD through the Discern instrument and JAMA benchmark. Results: We evaluated the quality and reliability of 27 Arabic SCD-related websites. Regarding website content, all 27 (100%) defined sickle cell disease, whereas 25 (96.30%) and 24 (92.59%) illustrated its manifestations and treatments, respectively. However, only 12 (44.44%) discussed the prevention of the disease through premarital genetic screening and counseling. According to the Discern score, 11 (40.74%) websites were of low quality, while 16 (59.26%) were of moderate quality. On the other hand, the JAMA score reveals that only 2 (7.41%) websites were high reliability, while the majority 25 (92.59%) were low reliability. Additionally, analysis revealed a weak positive correlation between the Discern and JAMA scores (correlation coefficient of 0.19). There were no statistically significant differences in the Discern and JAMA scores between websites on the first page of the search results and those on other pages ( Conclusion: Empowering patients with comprehensive knowledge about various disease aspects is a pivotal component in the effective management of SCD and, consequently, improving its outcomes. Regrettably, there is a notable scarcity of credible and high-quality written web-based health resources available in Arabic despite significant advancements in other clinical aspects of SCD. Augmenting the existing online resources in Arabic patients' native language could yield substantial enhancements in patient care across various dimensions.
