Patient Prioritization Preferences among Physiotherapy Entry-Level Students: The Importance of Chronic Pain.
Article in Physiotherapy Canada. Physiotherapie Canada, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo investigate physiotherapy entry-level students' preferences in prioritizing patients, specifically, patients with chronic pain.
methodsAfter a group discussion, 249 Canadian entry-level physiotherapy students completed a questionnaire that used five distinct scenarios (fictitious patient cases). Respondents were asked to prioritize the patients (P1=highest priority, P5=lowest priority).
resultsPhysiotherapy students accorded the highest priority to the patient with chronic pain and the post-surgical patients; the elderly patient and the patient with cognitive impairment were given low priority.
conclusionsA diagnosis of chronic pain is given the highest level of priority by physiotherapy students. The literature shows, however, that chronic pain is given the lowest priority in physiotherapy department triage tools. There may be a shift in preferences with respect to patients with chronic pain between the pre-licensure (student) phase and the post-licensure (clinician) phase.
