Barriers to patient and family-centred care in adult intensive care units: A systematic review.
Review in Nursing open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
aimDespite remarkable theoretical evidence of positive outcomes of patient and family-centred care, it is rarely performed in the intensive care setting. The aim of this review was to assess the barriers to patient and family-centred care among healthcare providers, patients and family members in adult intensive care units.
designA systematic review of both qualitative and quantitative studies.
methodsThe search strategy sought for published peer-reviewed research papers limited to English language from conception to 2018. The review protocol was registered in the CRD Prospero database (CRD42018086838). Literature search was carried out in four databases: EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PubMed and Scopus where keywords "barriers," "patient and family centered care," "patient-centered care" and "intensive care unit" appeared in any part of the reference. Hand search of reference lists of identified papers was also done to capture all pertinent materials. Each study was assessed by three independent reviewers against the inclusion criteria. Evidence was graded according to sampling quality, quantity and measurement of intended outcomes. Screening of studies and citations resulted in seven studies that were included in the analysis.
resultsBarriers to patient and family-centred care broadly fall under four categories; lack of understanding of what is needed to achieve patient and family-centred care, organizational barriers, individual barriers and interdisciplinary barriers.
