Abstract:Discussion In this study, the impact of symbols on the understanding of a guidelines recommendation was limited. Important methodological limitations apply but this study questions the impact of symbols to clarify a recommendation's message. However, visual aids are likely to be very important for users to help to identify recommendations within larger text document and therefore make guidelines easier to use and implement.
