Improving communication between healthcare providers and pulmonary arterial hypertension patients: a survey of patient preferences.
Article in Pulmonary circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Effective communication within the patient-provider relationship is a key aspect of shared decision-making and associated with several positive patient outcomes. Although previous studies suggest that patients' and providers' conceptualization of what constitutes effective communication differ, there is no available literature discussing patient preferences for communication. The objective of this study was to determine the words and phrases pulmonary arterial hypertension patients prefer to hear when discussing their disease with their physician. A total of 227 pulmonary arterial hypertension patients completed a survey that included a 20-item questionnaire specifically designed to assess patient preference for words and phrases when discussing their disease and treatment; statistically significant differences were observed across all items of the questionnaire. Patients preferred their physician ask them how they have "been feeling" (63%) rather than how they have "been doing". In addition, 96% of patients indicated that they wanted to hear that this is "… the best medicine
