1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPatients can play an essential role in improving patient safety by becoming actively involved in their health care. The present study aimed to qualitatively explore healthcare providers' (HCPs) and managers' perceptions on patient participation in patient safety processes.

methodsThis qualitative study carried out in three teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 31 HCPs and managers working at public teaching hospitals, medical universities and the Ministry of Health. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsThree main themes and 21 sub-themes emerged from the interviews. Participants believed that patients and their families can play an effective role in maintaining and improving patient safety through different roles. However, a variety of barriers were identified at patients, providers, and system levels hindering patient participation in delivering safe care.

conclusionThe participants identified facilitators and barriers to patient engagement in safety-orientated activities at multiple patients, providers, and system levels, indicating that complex, multifaceted initiatives must be designed to address the issue. This study encourages further research to enhance the understating of the problems and solutions to patient involvement in safety initiatives in the Iranian healthcare setting.
