1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Historically, patients have held a passive role within healthcare, seeking consultation from and following the directions of providers and their care teams. However, changes in culture, education, and technology are making it possible for patients to proactively develop and implement technologies and approaches for health management and quality of life enhancement-to act as patient informaticians. This perspective reviews the societal shifts facilitating the evolution of patient informaticians as discrete actors within healthcare, describes the work of patient informaticians and how this work differs from that of other patient roles (eg, patient advocates), considers examples of patient informaticians in action, and defines patient informaticians' position relative to the healthcare system.
