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

introductionPeople experiencing low back pain (LBP) could potentially benefit from multimedia educational resources that integrate self-management strategies and improve awareness of the benefits of staying active and about medications that offer limited benefits, such as paracetamol. Primary care waiting rooms are potential spaces for presenting health promotion resources to improve health literacy through the dissemination of easily accessible health information. This feasibility study aims to explore the feasibility of conducting a large-scale trial to investigate the benefits of multimedia educational resources delivered at outpatient physiotherapy waiting rooms of public hospitals to support patients to participate in physical activity and reduce paracetamol intake for LBP. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A hybrid type III feasibility study will be conducted at a public hospital in Sydney, Australia, from March to September 2024. The multimedia strategy development (pre-implementation) involves collaborative planning among healthcare professionals, policymakers and community stakeholders in physiotherapy practice. Phase II (implementation) will evaluate the acceptability and implementation processes of delivering the multimedia educational resources in the physiotherapy waiting room following the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance) framework. Findings from the quantitative data will be reported descriptively, and categorical data by counts and percentages. Qualitative (open-ended questions) will be integrated with the feasibility trial outcomes to inform the design of a full-scale randomised controlled trial. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has ethical approval from the Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee (2023/ETH02683). The findings will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, articles in relevant newsletters and presentations at national and international conferences. Social media platforms including X will also be used to generate awareness.
