Patient Safety Culture in Primary Healthcare Centers in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeThis study aimed to explore health-care workers' perceptions of patient safety culture (PSC) at primary health-care centers (PHCs) in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and the factors that influence them. An additional aim was to identify the challenges of adopting PSCs in the PHCs of this region.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study that adopted a PSC questionnaire from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The questionnaire was administered online and onsite targeted health-care workers at private, governmental, and quasi-governmental PHCs in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with 310 participants completing the survey.
resultsThe overall positive response rate of participants to the survey areas was 43.5% which is lower than the average for the AHRQ data in general.
conclusionThe findings highlight a number of areas for improvement, particularly in relation to event reporting, non-punitive responses, and openness in communication. Consequently, establishing a safety culture in health-care organizations necessitates the elimination of three crucial elements regarding errors: blame, fear, and silence. Error reporting should not just be considered a means of learning from mistakes; it should also be considered the first step towards preventing injury and improving patient safety.
