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

backgroundPatient and family advisors (PFAs) contributed to the development of the Ontario Cancer Plan IV (OCP IV), a 4-year strategic plan for Ontario, Canada's cancer system produced by Cancer Care Ontario.

objectiveTo understand the barriers and facilitators PFAs experience when they are engaged in health-care system planning and provide recommendations for future engagement.

methodPatient and family advisors who had an ongoing involvement in the development of the OCP IV were invited to take part in an interview. Qualitative data were analyzed for emergent themes and recommendations were generated.

resultsKey emergent themes highlighted necessary elements for effective engagement of PFAs. These included rapport (feeling valued, included as an equal and having supportive interpersonal relationships), communication (clarity and transparency, shared language and understanding, feeling heard, and effective teleconferencing), and leadership (from PFAs and staff). Recommendations for optimizing PFA engagement in health-care system planning were generated.

conclusionPatient and family advisors can be effectively engaged in system-level strategic planning by building reciprocal rapport, effective communication, and strong leadership. Notably, developing "systems literacy" in PFAs is key to ensuring the voices of patients and their families are heard and reflected in health-care system plans.
