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

purposeEffective patient comprehension is critical for informed consent, particularly in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), a globally prevalent procedure. This study evaluates the efficacy of an informational video to improve the patients' understanding, self-perceived knowledge, and emotional comfort in the context of THA informed consent. This randomized controlled trial investigates the impact of an additional informational video on (I) the patients' understanding, (II) self-precepted knowledge and (III) emotional comfort during the informed consent process for THA.

methodsParticipants were randomized to receive either the standard informed consent procedure or the standard procedure supplemented with an informational video. The effect of the video was tested with post-consent questionnaires.

resultsThe informational video significantly (p = 0.014) improved the patients' understanding from 78.6% to 86.5%. Self-precepted knowledge and Emotional comfort was not effected by the video (p = 0.986; p = 0.333).

conclusionsThe informational video significantly improved patient comprehension during the informed consent process before THA.
