Healthcare Professionals' Culture Toward Reporting Errors in the Oncology Setting.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionReporting an error during a hospital journey is crucial to reduce such errors' recurrence and to learn from events. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate oncology staff's attitudes, perceived barriers, and strategy towards reporting incidents and errors.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted among health professionals providing care to cancer patients in a tertiary healthcare hospital in Saudi Arabia in 2019. Data were collected using an online self-administered questionnaire distributed to the targeted population.
resultsA total of 211 participated in this study. Sixty-five percent of responders reported that they felt a need to reveal errors. The leading perceived barrier to reporting the events was that the staff wanted to avoid getting into trouble (60%), followed by worries about legal action (59.2%). The top-ranking strategy to improve reporting by nurses was to have clear guidelines to report errors, education and feedback by doctors, and further education and training by allied healthcare.
conclusionThe study revealed that healthcare professionals do possess a favorable attitude toward reporting errors. However, a major gap is still a barrier between attitude and practice, and this need creating a safe atmosphere where every healthcare professional feels safe and comfortable with reporting incidents is required to build a non-punitive environment to enhance the safety culture. On the other hand, the respondents listed different strategies to enhance reporting events and errors.
