Narrative Medicine: The Power of Shared Stories to Enhance Inclusive Clinical Care, Clinician Well-Being, and Medical Education.
Review in The Permanente journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the problem of secondary trauma and moral injury for health care workers. This reality, together with the epidemic of social isolation and loneliness, has brought the mental health of health care practitioners and patients to the forefront of the national conversation. Narrative medicine is an accessible, diversity-honoring, low-cost, underutilized pedagogical framework with potentially revolutionary benefits for enhancing patient care, supporting the underserved, mitigating clinician burnout, and improving team dynamics. Herein, the authors review the literature on these benefits and then discuss methods for integrating narrative medicine into clinical care and medical education at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as continuing medical education.
