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: Burn injuries remain a neglected public health issue in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Up to 90% of burn injuries occur in LMICs, where there is a lack of appropriate burn prevention, acute care and rehabilitation services. When co-created with target populations, health education and communication campaigns could play a pivotal role in promoting risk assessment and improving knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding first aid for burns in low-resource settings. Photovoice is a co-creation approach that engages target communities in capturing and communicating their lived experiences through photography. The present study protocol describes the design of a health education and communication campaign incorporating Photovoice to improve knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding burn injuries in Pakistan. Methods and analysis: This cohort study will follow 600 participants ( Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was obtained from the Pakistan National Bioethics (Approval ID: NBC-985) and Manchester University Research Ethics Committees (Approval ID: 2023-18,027-31199). The results of this study will be distributed through public dissemination events, social media channels and peer-reviewed journals.
