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

objectiveAn economic evaluation of methods for scaling up the Go Sun Smart at Work (GSS@W) occupational sun protection program was conducted.

methodsRegional districts (n = 138) in 21 state departments of transportation were randomized to digital or in-person scalability strategies for GSS@W. Cost of delivering GSS@W was obtained from project accounting records and manager reports. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio between digital and in-person strategies was calculated.

resultsProgram-delivery costs (in thousands) were $15.6 in digital and $74.3 in in-person strategies. Across all districts, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $3305, representing average cost savings from a sun safety action not implemented under the digital strategy but implemented under the in-person strategy.

conclusionsThe digital scalability strategy was cost-effective relative to an in-person strategy, generating substantial cost savings and offsetting a lower mean number of implemented program actions.
