Patient Safety Culture Assessment in Primary Care Settings in Greece.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionA positive safety culture is considered a pillar of safety in health organizations and the first crucial step for quality health services. In this context, the aim of this study was to set a reference evaluation for the patient safety culture in the primary health sector in Greece, based on health professionals' perceptions.
methodsWe used a cross-sectional survey with a 62% response rate (
resultsThe most highly ranked domains were: "Teamwork" (82%), "Patient Care Tracking/Follow-up" (80% of positive scores), and "Organizational Learning" (80%); meanwhile, the lowest-ranked ones were: "Leadership Support for Patient Safety" (62%) and "Work Pressure and Pace" (46%). The other domains, such as "Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety and Quality" (77%), "Staff Training" (70%), "Communication about Error" (70%), "Office Processes and Standardization" (67%), and "Communication Openness" (64%), ranked somewhere in between.
conclusionsA positive safety culture was identified in primary care settings in Greece, although weak areas concerning the safety culture should be addressed in order to improve patient safety.
