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

objectiveThe study assessed the knowledge, awareness and perception of NaProTechnology as well as the effect of an educational video intervention among pharmacy undergraduate students.

designThe study design was a pre-post educational video intervention using a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey. PARTICIPANTS AND

settingThe study was done among undergraduate students of a school of pharmacy in South-eastern Nigeria. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME MEASURES: At baseline, the knowledge, awareness and perception of the students were assessed using a 17-item questionnaire: five questions for knowledge, five questions for awareness and seven questions for perception, followed by the administration of an educational video on NaProTechnology which was prepared by one of the authors, a gynaecologist and also an expert in NaProTechnology. A post-intervention survey was done with the same pre-intervention questionnaire to assess the effect of the educational intervention. The correct (knowledge) or positive (awareness and perception) responses for each question were reported as percentages.

resultsThere were 410 and 350 students in the pre- and post-intervention surveys, respectively, with a relatively equal number of males and females. The majority were between 18 and 29 years old. The average proportion of the participants with correct responses on the knowledge assessment of NaProTechnology was 13.2% and 75.7% in the pre- and post-intervention surveys, respectively (p<0.0001).

conclusionAn educational video intervention was effective in improving the short-term knowledge, awareness and positive perception of NaProTechnology among pharmacy students.
