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

backgroundIncreased self-management is a suggested solution to the burden on health-care services of long-term conditions (LTCs). This requires effective sharing of knowledge between health-care professionals and patients, and is an underexplored area.

objectiveTo understand how patients and health-care professionals (HCPs) share and utilize knowledge in the social context of health-care interactions within long-term condition management.

methodsThematic analysis of 93 hours of observations of health-care interactions and 33 semi-structured interviews involving patients, carers and HCPs.

results3 themes were identified: normative social roles, differing professional roles and the value of knowledge. Knowledge sharing was a complex process heavily influenced by social and cultural norms within the health-care context. Not all knowledge was easily shared within routine health-care interactions. DISCUSSION: The social context in which health-care is practised influences what knowledge is shared and how this is achieved. It favours sharing of clinical knowledge from HCPs to patients and disadvantages patients in their ability to share their unique knowledge based on lived experience of illness. The opportunities for patients to be supported in their knowledge, skills and confidence within routine health-care interactions are limited.

conclusionBoth patients and HCPs need support to recognize the characteristics of the social context of health care and their understandings of their roles within this in order for them to move beyond accepted behaviours to develop more effective partnership working. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients were involved in initial design of the study, particularly ethics of ethnographic observation.
