Patient Narratives: a Tool for People-Centered Health Systems Education.
Article in Medical science educator, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRecent global initiatives have called for responsive and people-centered health systems. There has also been demand for increased transformational and applied learning in medicine and public health.
methodsPatient Narratives, a tool for people-centered health systems education, was implemented among undergraduate students preparing for a career in public health or medicine. This activity trained students to interview a patient living with a chronic condition and to analyze health system performance based on the patient's narrative.
resultsStudents interviewed patients of various ages, diagnoses, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Patients had obtained care in diverse health care settings, for example, through private health insurance and through governmental programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. All students were able to successfully complete the activity and successfully demonstrated ability to collect relevant information and make inferences on health systems performance using the information that they collected. Therefore, all students achieved the learning objectives. In addition, 92% of students reported increased confidence in engaging with patients as a result of this activity.
conclusionPatient Narratives can help students develop analytical skills to evaluate health systems performance and understand the realities of the individuals that they aim to serve. Patient Narratives can be a useful addition to the teaching methodology on health systems in the undergraduate setting and beyond.
