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

In India, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a significant healthcare burden. Poor outcomes are caused by delayed diagnosis and insufficient patient education (PE). In this context, the Manipal Interstitial Lung Disease Educational Booklet (MILD EduB), a culturally relevant resource for individuals with ILD in India, was developed and validated. The booklet was developed in four stages: (1) a scoping review to identify important educational themes; (2) development of a draft booklet shared with experts for review and feedback; (3) validation of the booklet by healthcare professionals using the content validity index (CVI); and (4) face validation by individuals with ILD. The initial scale-level CVI (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.79, which improved to 1.0 following modifications, indicating good expert consensus via the healthcare professionals. Face validation by individuals with ILD (n = 10) using a 4-point Likert scale demonstrated 100% agreement for readability, relevance, and design. With a Flesch Reading Ease Scale score of 80.9, the finalised booklet is considered easy to read and accessible to individuals with ILD with a wide range of reading levels. MILD EduB fills an important gap in ILD-specific educational resources, particularly in low-resource settings. Its evidence-based content and patient-centered design aim to improve adherence and self-management.
