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

The identification of methods for assessing the views of patients on health care has only developed over the last decade or so. The use of patients' views to improve healthcare delivery requires valid and reliable measurement methods. Four approaches are recognised: inclusion of patients' views in the information to those seeking health care, identification of patient preferences in episodes of care, patient feedback on delivery of health care, and patients' views in decision making on healthcare systems. Outcome measures for the evaluation of the use of patients' views should reflect the aims in terms of processes or outcomes of care, including possible negative consequences. Rigorous methodologies for the evaluation of methods have yet to be implemented.
