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

Objective: To explore how professionals deal with informing their patients and how they experience the process per se, in order to deepen understanding of the issues involved and to identify areas of focus for improvement. Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 hospital professionals at Lausanne University Hospital, Switzerland. Results: Information includes feedback, practical information, patient condition, treatment/process of care, and educational material. Information-delivery is a process that involves informing the patient then checking patient reception of the information. The main expected outcome is patient action. Providers can feel trapped, guilty, inadequate, powerless, disenchanted when the process fails to achieve its expected purpose. Conclusions: Informing and checking strategies are not implemented optimally, and providers could benefit from guidance in order to decrease discomfort and become more proficient at delivering information. Innovation: Addressing the information-delivery process per se provides us with a novel insight into the complexity of the process and contributes to identifying essential ingredients of future innovative training programs for providers at large.
