"I'm Trying to Stop Things Before They Happen": Carers' Contributions to Patient Safety in Hospitals.
Article in Qualitative health research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Patient safety policies increasingly encourage carer (i.e., family or friends) involvement in reducing health care-associated harm in hospital. Despite this, carer involvement in patient safety in practice is not well understood-especially from the carers' perspective. The purpose of this article is to understand how carers of adult patients perceived and experienced their patient safety contributions in hospital. Constructivist grounded theory informed the data collection and analysis of in-depth interviews with 32 carers who had patient safety concerns in Australian hospitals. Results demonstrated carers engaged in the process of "patient-safety caring." Patient-safety caring included three levels of intensity: low ("contributing without concern"), moderate ("being proactive about safety"), and high ("wrestling for control"). Carers who engaged at high intensity provided the patient with greater protection, but typically experienced negative consequences for themselves. Carers' experiences of negative consequences from safety involvement need to be mitigated by practice approaches that value their contributions.
