The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of spin in randomized controlled trial (RCT) abstracts on the perception of intervention effectiveness among occupational therapists in Japan.
Others
A substantive investigation into the effects of spin on abstracts in RCT.
The primary outcome is the impression of the RCT abstract, which is assessed using the following questions.
How likely do you think that Intervention B would be beneficial to patients? (0 [not at all] to 10 [very likely])
The secondary outcomes are the following four questions:
1. Rate the overall rigor of the study methodology (0 [not at all rigorous] to 10 [very rigorous]).
2. Rate the importance of the study (0 [not at all important] to 10 [very important]).
3. Are you interested in reading the full-text article for the study described in this abstract? (0 [not at all] to 10 [very likely]).
4. Do you think it would be interesting to run another trial evaluating this treatment? (0 [not interesting at all] to 10 [very interesting]).

"With spin" group
Participants in the "With spin" group will read abstracts of RCTs that include spin. This study will use abstracts of RCTs used in previous study that evaluated the effect of spin presence. These abstracts will be translated into Japanese and provided to participants.
"Without spin" group
The "Without spin" group will read the same RCT abstracts as the "With spin" group. However, the abstracts used will be modified versions that remove the presence of spin and correctly interpret the results. These modified abstracts will be those used in previous study. The abstracts provided will also be translated into Japanese, just as they are for the "With spin" group.
