Person-centred healthcare and medicine paradigm: it's time to clarify.
Article in The EPMA journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 person-centred healthcare and medicine paradigm is in need of a strong theoretical framework not only to explain what it is but to prevent dangerous confusions of terminology or reductive oversimplification of its true scope: for example, it may be integrated into biomedicine, whereas person-centred medicine and Traditional Systems and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (TCAM) actually stand in the position of interacting with the conventional health system. Emphasis on person-centred care is also in line with World Health Organization (WHO) policy and the International Declarations of Beijing and Alma Ata. Interaction of TCAM and person-centred approach to all forms of medicine will ensure variety of therapy in tackling the intrinsically complex and multifaceted issue of health and healing. It will also prevent inestimable traditional knowledge from being lost.
