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

introductionAll over the world, healthcare team members are recommended to respect patients' human dignity. However, the dignity of hospitalized patients is not preserved in many cases. Due to the abstract, complex, and cultural nature of the concept of human dignity, further studies are required to precisely determine the different aspects of this concept. PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physicians, nurses, family caregivers, and hospitalized patients with regard to patient dignity in Iranian clinical setting. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a qualitative, exploratory study in which physicians, nurses, family caregivers, and patients were recruited from 2 educational hospitals located in an urban area in Iran from April 2016 to February 2017 using the purposive sampling method (n = 24). Data were collected through individual interviews and subsequently analyzed using conventional content analysis in the software MAXQDA 2007, VERBI

resultsThree major themes emerged from analyses of the data obtained from the interviews: a peaceful environment, respect, and comprehensive support.

conclusionFrom the participants' point of view, in order for their dignity to be preserved, patients need to be hospitalized in a peaceful environment in which they are treated with empathy, they receive comprehensive support, and the care settings are managed properly. Furthermore, it is important to respect patient's values and beliefs, to provide unbiased care and treatment, and to maintain patient's autonomy in order to maintain hospitalized patients' dignity.
