Creating a patient-led NHS: some ethical and epistemological challenges.
Article in London journal of primary care, 2012. 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
This article responds to the Coalition government's recent Open Public Services White Paper and to proposals which call for the creation of a 'patient-led NHS' which will, wherever possible, seek to give patients direct control over the services they receive, through a greater degree of choice and participation. Its central contention is that affording patients greater influence over the consultation and commissioning processes will require the NHS to accommodate and respond to the beliefs, values and agendas of patients, as well as those of medical professionals and policy makers. Since it cannot be assumed that professionals and patients will share the same beliefs, values and agendas, the creation of a system of patient-led services has the potential to bring disagreement between professionals and patients to a head, particularly within the consultation and commissioning processes. Thus, a set of complex epistemic and ethical challenges accompanies the proposed creation of a 'patient-led NHS', greater awareness of which will be necessary for the successful implementation of such reforms.
