Who wants to know if their care is rationed? Views of citizens and service informants.
Article in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01503853 (Discussing Costs in the Doctor-Patient Encounter), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the views of citizens and service informants about whether they would want to know about any rationing of their own health care.
designIn-depth interviews using a semistructured schedule. Data were analysed using the methods of constant comparison. SETTING AND
participantsCitizens and service informants. MAIN VARIABLES STUDIED: Issues around health care rationing were explored within the context of the United Kingdom health care system.
resultsThe views of citizens and service informants were very similar in terms of whether they, personally, wanted to know about any rationing of their own care, with the vast majority wanting to be given this information. Informants were also similar in terms of their reasons for wanting to know about rationing: to be given a 'good explanation' to enable them to judge whether the decision made had been correct; and to enable them to change the decision if necessary, either through protest or payment. Many informants suggested that they would indeed be likely to react either by challenging the decision or by paying for care.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that policies to be open with people about the rationing of care would be welcomed, but also indicate that if protest follows such openness, it may be difficult for the health service to cope with greater explicitness. Further research is needed among patient groups actually facing this situation.
