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

backgroundThe physician-patient relationship is a critical component of the integrated approach to excellence in health-care delivery. Although commonly modelled within the boundaries of the agency theory and regarded as synonymous to an agent-principal interaction, there exists only a sparse understanding about the most effective ways of governing it.

objectiveThis article undertakes a selective review of the growing body of research on the governance of the physician-patient relationship to discuss the current state of the knowledge in the field and suggest promising avenues for further exploration.

findingsOn the basis of an extensive analysis of the relevant literature, we identify two emerging streams of inquiry on the trust-based (i.e. trust and ethical oversight) and distrust-based (i.e. patient information-empowerment and decision-making authority) governance mechanisms of the physician-patient relationship and discuss the key findings within each stream. DISCUSSION: To conciliate the on-going scholarly debate concerning the efficacy of trust- and distrust-based mechanisms, we draw the foundations of a conceptual framework which might serve as a guide for more integrative research endeavours on the governance of the physician-patient relationship.
