Challenges of Realising Patient-Centred Outcomes for Deaf Patients.
Article in The patient, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In general populations, it has been recognised that patients play a key role in the quality of their own healthcare. However, the idea of realising patient-centred outcomes for the signing Deaf community, who experience the world in a visual way, raises some challenging issues that are rarely acknowledged. Using published research and translational health projects involving Deaf people both in the UK and internationally, this article discusses the challenges of realising patient-centred outcomes for Deaf people who are sign language users. The discussion includes an examination of: barriers to accessing healthcare for Deaf people; the impact of an insufficient acquisition of knowledge about health-related issues; Deaf people's limited fund of information; not recognising Deaf people's values and citizenship rights; and challenges in gathering Deaf people's reported outcomes. We contend that without including Deaf people in shaping the healthcare experience for them, whether at an interpersonal level of patient engagement or at a structural level, the concept of fulfilling patient-centred outcomes for Deaf people is not achievable.
