Patient Care Boards - A tool to promote patient participation during hospital ward rounds.
Article in PEC innovation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: This pre-post intervention study investigated the effectiveness of the Patient Care Board (PCB) as a tool to increase the participation of patients and relatives during hospital ward rounds. Methods: Using The Activity Barometer (TAB), we rated 121 video-recorded rounds to compare participation before and after implementing the PCB into clinical practice. Associations between scores for the extent to which patients ask questions or express preferences and concerns were tested with multiple linear regression. Results: TAB-scores tended to be higher after implementing the PCB, especially for the relatives. However, no significant differences were found. The greatest impact on participation was time spent on rounds (p < 0.001). Preparing questions in advance of the round, as well as using anatomical drawings for explanations, increased patient participation (p = 0.041, 0.024). Furthermore, the implementation of the PCB led to higher nurse attendance (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Although we found tendencies towards higher participation, the study could not confirm a significant impact of the overall intervention. Innovation: Our results suggest that further research is needed, to ensure a higher degree of preparation among the patients, better opportunities for relatives to participate as well as integration of visual information in the rounds.
