A Cultural Shift Away from Cognitive-behavioral Empathy.
Review in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Empathy in medicine is often neglected due to various constraints imposed on the physician. Despite empathy being proven as beneficial to the patient health and outcomes, patients remain unsatisfied with the healthcare system and usually, in turn, their physicians. To instill empathetic patient-physician relationships, medical training has for some time focused on cognitive-behavioral empathy. This is taught through cognitive and behavioral skills, with expressions such as "I understand how you feel". Naturally, these skills are often forced and feel disingenuous. Hence, a cultural shift in medicine is required to effectively communicate the importance of empathy: a shift that cultivates altruistic properties most healthcare professionals bring to medicine in the first place.
