The Hospital Patient Safety Culture Survey: Reform of Analysis and Visualization Methods.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Understanding the topography of hospital safety culture is vital for developing, implementing, and monitoring the effectiveness of tailored safety programs. Since 2009, the Chinese version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ-C) has been introduced and administered to providers in many Taiwanese hospitals. The mean percentage of SAQ survey respondents who demonstrate attitudinal agreement within each of the SAQ domains, the percent agreement (PA) score, is used worldwide as the main parameter of safety culture surveys. However, several limitations within PA scoring have been identified. Our study sought to improve scoring methodology and develop a new graph layout for cultural topography presentation. A total of 37,163 responses to a national SAQ-C administration involving 200 Taiwan hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. To understand the central tendency and spread of safety culture scores across all participating hospitals, the median and interquartile range (IQR) of PA scores to the SAQ's teamwork domain were calculated, plotted, and named "safety culture grid." Study results denote limitations in the current PA scoring scheme, suggest SAQ analysis modification, and introduce a visualization graph layout that can provide richer information about safety culture dissemination than that available from currently utilized tools.
