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.
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
Objective: Considering an increasing number of patients bring online health knowledge, as a key form of digital health, to discuss with their doctors, this study aims to construct a model to examine the relationship among perceived improved coping ability (PICA, reflecting patients' self-efficacy) and physician-patient concordance (PPC), negative and positive doctor-patient trust, as well as doctor-patient relationship (DPR) in the context of diverse online information sources. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted online. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling among netizens across China. Through a convenience sampling method, an online survey was conducted among netizens in China. A total of 286 and 1041 valid questionnaires were distributed from May 6, 2022, to May 8, 2022 and February 27 to March 6, 2025, respectively. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis, while Smart PLS 4.0 was employed for both model building and testing. Results: Compared with individuals utilizing content-sharing and short video platforms, all hypotheses were only supported in individuals utilizing social interaction platforms. PICA was positively correlated with PPC (β = .330; Conclusion: All proposed hypotheses were confirmed only among individuals who primarily used social interaction platforms (such as WeChat, QQ, and Weibo) for health knowledge. The strict review mechanisms of these social media platforms may be crucial in ensuring the quality of health information.
