Patient and Health Care Professional Perspectives: A Case Study of the Lung Cancer Integrated Care Pathway.
Article in International journal of integrated care, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the perception of the quality of care, considering both patient experience and health care professionals' perceptions as well as patient outcome measures of an integrated lung cancer pathway.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 at Ferrara University Hospital, Italy. OPportunity for Treatment In ONcology (OPTION) questionnaires were administered to 77 patients, and the Care Process Self-Evaluation Tool (CPSET) questionnaires were given to 38 health care professionals. The effectiveness of the pathway was evaluated by analysing the tool's positive impact on lung cancer surgery volume and 30-day mortality.
resultsSeventy-seven patients were enrolled, and 38 health care professionals assessed the CPSET questionnaire. The highest scores were related to "respect" (100%), "satisfaction" (98.7%), and "trust" (97.4%) on the OPTION and to "patient-focused vision" (97.2%) and "patient engagement" (94.4%) on the CPSET. The lowest scores were related to "information" (26%) and "cooperation with general practitioner" (17.6%) on the OPTION and "cooperation between the hospital and primary care" (23.5%) for the CPSET. The outcomes analysis shows an increase in the volume of activity and a decrease in 30-day mortality after pathway implementation. DISCUSSION: The lung cancer pathway is a patient-centred intervention that enables care to be shaped for patient needs in order to improve the quality and efficiency of service and clinical outcome.
