Patient-completed safety checklists as an empowerment tool for patient involvement in patient safety: concepts, considerations and recommendations.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The application of safety checklists to healthcare settings to help systematise routines and improve communication between healthcare professionals has proven to be effective in reducing errors, complications, mortality and hospitalisation time. There is a new call to extend the checklist concept to develop safety checklists that can be used by patients to help empower their involvement in safety practices. Only a handful of studies around patient-completed checklists exist, but those that do indicate a positive impact on patient empowerment and involvement in safety-related behaviours. In this article, we present the concept of patient-completed checklists and provide a review of the existing evidence, highlighting important design and implementation considerations, and making recommendations for future research and development.
