General Public's Attitudes Toward Disclosure of Patient Safety Incidents in Korea: Results of Disclosure of Patient Safety Incidents Survey I.
Article in Journal of patient safety, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesMany countries and organizations have promoted the disclosure of patient safety incidents (DPSI). However, reporting frequency and quality of DPSI fall short of patient and caregiver' expectations. In this study, we examined the attitudes toward DPSI of the general public representing the Korean population.
methodsSurvey questions were developed based on a previous systematic review and qualitative research. Face-to-face interviews using paper-based questionnaires were conducted. We explored attitudes toward DPSI in various scenarios and opinions on methods to facilitate DPSI.
resultsAlmost all participants answered that it is necessary to disclose major errors (99.9%) and near misses (93.3%). A total of 96.6% (675/699) agreed that "DPSI will lead physicians to pay more attention to patient safety in the future," and 94.1% (658/699) agreed that "DPSI will make patients and their caregivers trust the physician more." Although 79.7% (558/700) agreed that "apology law will limit patients' ability to prove physicians' negligence," 95.4% (668/700) agreed with "I support the introduction of apology law." Moreover, 90.6% (634/700) agreed with "I support the introduction of mandatory DPSI."
conclusionsThis study showed the overwhelmingly positive attitude of the public toward DPSI. The positive opinion of the public about apology law suggests the possibility of introducing the disclosure policy coupled with legislation of apology law in South Korea.
