Pathway redesign: putting patients ahead of professionals.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Many perioperative clinical pathways, and therefore patient journeys, are focused around provider, rather than patient, convenience. Business process re-engineering (BPRE) offers a framework for transformative process-change with the aim of improving 'consumer experience' and efficiency and may be an effective driver for improving patient experience and value within healthcare. Involvement of patients in service and pathway design, through experience-based codesign, is increasingly prevalent and may be an effective complement to BPRE. The elective perioperative pathway offers an opportunity to rethink the patient journey with the aim of maximising opportunities for effective shared decision making and improving preparation for surgery through prehabilitation and management of long-term conditions (comorbidity/multimorbidity management). Additional opportunities include improved management of transitions of care and effective medicines management to minimise polypharmacy. Pathway mapping, deconstruction and reconstruction enables such changes and is a method of service transformation that may have relevance for a spectrum of other elective/scheduled pathways.
