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

backgroundDigital technologies are increasingly being used to promote effective health interventions in the older adult population. This study aimed to develop and validate instant messages with educational content related to glycemic control, delivered via an instant messaging application, as a type 2 DM control strategy for older adults.

methodsThis was a methodological study that developed instant messages containing text and images. The validation process was conducted by a panel of experts composed of nursing, nutrition, and physical education professionals. SPSS version 25.0 was used for the statistical analysis. A CVI was used to measure the experts' agreement regarding the validity of the content of the educational messages. An exact test of binomial distribution with

resultsSixty-one text messages were prepared with illustrations as support, and were divided into three themes. The educational messages were validated by experts, with an average CVI score above 0.80 for all indicators.

conclusionsThe educational messages developed in this study were considered relevant and clear for older adults and could be applied in the digital environment, with the objective of helping older adults manage type 2 DM.
