"What Questions Do You Have?": Teaching Medical Students to Use an Open-Ended Phrase for Eliciting Patients' Questions.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Patients frequently do not understand health information received in clinical settings, yet rates of question-asking by patients are low, particularly for patients with lower health literacy skills. Experts recommend that health care professionals attempt to elicit patients' questions by using an open-ended phrase, such as "What questions do you have?" as opposed to a closed-ended phrase like, "Do you have any questions?" We compared question-eliciting techniques used during video-recorded observed structured clinical examinations among medical students who had completed a mostly didactic curriculum on health literacy and clear communication (
