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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to collect qualitative feedback from key stakeholders as to their recommendations for developing a behavior-change-focused social media toolkit for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) female youth who are at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). AI/AN women experience a higher rate of GDM than women from most other racial and ethnic groups. The Stopping Gestational Diabetes in Daughters and Mothers (SGDM) program is designed to reduce GDM risk for AI/AN females.

methodsIndividual interviews were conducted with content experts (health care providers/educators, researchers, and social media experts) who serve AI/AN communities (n = 20), and focus group interviews were conducted with female AI/AN youth ages 12 to 21 (n = 20) and AI/AN mothers (n = 20). Interviews were conducted via teleconference by an experienced AI/AN moderator, and transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Participants completed a survey assessing personal characteristics and technology use.

resultsAll youth and mothers (100%) reported using social media daily; 60% of content experts reported daily social media use. Overarching themes included (1) negative aspects of social media use should be balanced with health-promoting messaging; (2) female AI/AN youth need positive AI/AN female role models, support, and connection to be healthy; (3) engage female AI/AN youth on social media through use of videos, humor, strengths-based messaging, and codevelopment of content.

conclusionUnderstanding the perspectives of content experts and members of the priority audience is a key first step in developing an AI/AN culturally relevant and community-engaged social media toolkit.
