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: Physicians, allied health clinicians, scientists, and industry partners' use of social media has grown exponentially, permeating across all levels of healthcare delivery and practice. Spine care professionals can interact with both professional and patient audiences across social media platforms. Methods: This article aims to narratively outline social media best practices for the spine care professional. Results: Thirty-two social media best practice statements are presented to help guide spine care professionals. The best practice statements are thematically organized: (1) Compliance and Confidentiality, (2) Professionalism, (3) Security and Access, and (4) Spine Care. Conclusions: Social media represents a broadcasting platform for communication between clinicians and patients alike, presenting with it numerous advantages and challenges. As spine care professionals we must learn how to engage in its utilization in both educational and professional-social environments.
