Patients' Perspectives of Engagement as a Safety Strategy.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
PURPOSE/
objectivesTo describe patient engagement as a safety strategy from the perspective of hospitalized surgical patients with cancer. . RESEARCH APPROACH: Qualitative, descriptive approach using grounded theory. .
settingMemorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York. .
participants13 hospitalized surgical patients with cancer. . METHODOLOGIC APPROACH: Grounded theory with maximum variation sampling. .
findingsParticipants' perceptions regarding their engagement as a patient safety strategy were expressed through three overarching themes.
conclusionsUsing direct messaging, such as "your safety" as opposed to "patient safety," and teaching patients specific behaviors to maintain their safety appeared to facilitate patient engagement and increase awareness of safety issues. Patients may be willing to accept some responsibility for ensuring their safety by engaging in behaviors that are intuitive or that they are clearly instructed to do; however, they described their involvement in their safety as a right, not an obligation. .
interpretationClear, inviting, multimodal communication appears to have the greatest potential to enhance patients' engagement in their safety. Nurses' ongoing assessment of patients' ability to engage is critical insofar as it provides the opportunity to encourage engagement without placing undue burden on them. By employing communication techniques that consider patients' perspectives, nurses can support patient engagement.
