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: Online resources are becoming the primary educational resource for patients. Quality and reliability of websites about coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures are unknown. Methods: We queried 4 search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and Dogpile) for the terms Results: Accessibility was low; 34.1% of websites disclosed authorship, and 23.5% were available in Spanish. Median total score was 55 of 95 (interquartile range [IQR], 44-68); this score varied by website type ( Conclusions: Accessibility of online patient educational resources for CABG procedures is limited by language and reading level despite being widely available. Quality and reliability of the information offered varied between website types. Improving readability to ensure patients' understanding and comprehensive decision-making should be prioritized.
