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

The purpose of this study was to examine how different ethical scenarios and different likelihood of statement accuracy influenced recommendations to seek more information or report an ethical violation. Twenty participants were recruited to participate in a pre-workshop survey where they were presented with five hypothetical ethical scenarios that each corresponded to one of five probabilities that scenario was accurate (100%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 10%). We found when given a scenario that was 100% accurate, 17 of 20 participants indicated they would advise the individual to report the ethical violation. As report accuracy decreased, the proportion of participants that advised to report also decreased. Future directions and implications for ethical decision making in research and practice are discussed.
