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

Purpose: This study examined the effects of self-developed educational videos on patient satisfaction and the physician-patient relationship in genetic outpatient clinics. Methods: Patients with suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC, Results: The videos were found to be understandable and useful. The video intervention did not affect patient or physician satisfaction scales or the physicians' workload. However, there were significant interaction effects: The video intervention was associated with significantly lower satisfaction scores among patients with SYN. Additionally, in post-hoc tests, we partially found lower satisfaction with patient decision making, as well as increased physician workload in the SYN group compared with the HBOC group. Conclusion: Educational videos can improve patient satisfaction in HBOC consultations. In complex and less homogenous clinical situations, such as genetic consultation and testing for syndromic conditions, however, face-to-face physician-patient contact may be more appropriate to reduce stress and adequately address individual questions.
