1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPatient perception of care is positively associated with better medical outcomes, clinician job satisfaction, and fewer malpractice claims and also has significant downstream economic impact for healthcare organizations. A sparse amount of data exists regarding provider and practice characteristics driving high levels of patient experience in the pediatric hematology-oncology (PHO) ambulatory setting. The aims of this study were to determine key drivers of high care provider ratings and of the likelihood of recommending our ambulatory PHO practice.

methodsPatient experience was measured using the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Clinician & Group Survey (CG-CAHPS). The study outcomes were to determine the survey items most associated with top-box scores for "Rate This Provider" and for "Likelihood of Your Recommending Our Practice to Others."

resultsThe survey items

conclusionHigh provider ratings were most associated with the physician's ability to explain problems and conditions to families. Staff teamwork and nursing attitude were most associated with patient recommendations of the PHO practice. By identifying key drivers of high provider and practice ratings by patients in the PHO ambulatory setting, a targeted approach with a focus on physician-specific communication attributes, teamwork, and nursing attitude can be deployed to improve the patient experience.
