Patient health incentives: ethical challenges and frameworks.
Review in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatient incentives for encouraging healthy behavior raise a number of ethical concerns: Do they target the vulnerable? Do they involve psychological manipulation? Do they undermine intrinsic motivation? PURPOSE: To the purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of ethical challenges raised by patient incentives and incentive programs and develop a systematic approach to understanding and analyzing these ethical challenges.
methodEthical considerations raised by patient incentives can be broadly grouped into two kinds: medical ("patient-oriented") and public health ("constituent-oriented") concerns. Ethical frameworks suitable to these kinds of concerns are explored.
resultsTwo ethical frameworks are applied to the challenges raised by patient incentives: (1) Incentives are assessed in terms of personal and social responsibility for health; and (2) incentives are assessed as elements of normatively structured clinical relationships (e.g., the traditional patient-clinician relationship).
conclusionA better understanding of ethical concerns and the resources available within the personal responsibility and clinical encounter frameworks suggest complementary guidance may be available for approaching many of the ethical issues raised by patient incentives.
