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

introductionThe IRIS-2 project (2019) expanded the application of the HSOPSC in Romanian hospitals, yet applied, for the first time in the country, in 2014 (IRIS-1). The aim is an update on patient safety culture for staff, by geographic region and overall, by year of survey. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out in voluntary staff in four hospitals in four regions (n. 1,121 staff) and compared with a previous study based on six hospitals in four regions (n. 969 staff). The instrument was the Romanian version of the HSOPSC with 31 items and 9 dimensions. Statistics to analyze trend were computed using "R". Results No significant differences between the proportion of positive response (PPRs) by dimension were observed in IRIS-2 with respect to IRIS-1, with two exceptions: significantly lower PPR for "teamwork across hospital units" (65% versus 73%) and significantly higher PPR for "frequency of events reporting" (65% versus 59%). Four dimensions were well developed and five dimensions needed to be improved. The poorest PPRs were for the "teamwork across hospital units", the "frequency of event reporting" and the "non punitive response to error" dimensions. Besides, one outcome indicator changed through time: the proportion of the staff who did not report any event was significantly lower (64% versus 73%) and the proportion of the staff who reported "1-2 events" was significantly higher (21% versus 15%).

conclusionDespite some small progress related to the frequency of events reporting, there is room for further patient safety culture improvement.
