A Survey of Patient Perspectives on Approach to Health Care: Focus on Physician Competency and Compassion.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We conducted a cross-sectional, survey study of 764 volunteers to gain insight into patients' perceptions of physician qualities of compassion and competence. Among 651 (85% response rate) survey participants, mean age was 52.4 (SD 21.4) years, 70.8% (n = 458) were female, and 84% (n = 539) identified as white. Predictors of compassion over competence included female gender (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.04-1.89) and whether the respondent had a personal connection to the vignette (aOR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.0-1.53). Thematic analysis demonstrated that preferences were influenced by: (a) explicit beliefs regarding the value of physician compassion and physician competence; (b) impact of emotional and mental health on medical experiences; (c) the type and frequency of health care exposure; and (d) perceived role of the physician in various clinical vignettes. Patients had wide-ranging, complex opinions on the qualities they valued in their physicians. These findings suggest that patients are engaged and can provide critical thoughtful feedback on the practice and delivery of health care.
