Patient Engagement in Provincial and Territorial Medical Association Decision-Making: A Rapid Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years health systems have engaged patient partners in decision-making. Provincial and Territorial Medical Associations (PTMAs) are the sole bargaining agents for physicians. PTMA negotiations with governments are often seen as insular. Adding the patient perspective could add tremendous value to negotiating committees, etc. as PTMAs look to advocate for person-centered care provided by their members. Using rapid scoping review methodology, PubMed was searched for studies reporting on the use of patient partners in PTMA decision-making. Title and abstract screening were conducted by a single reviewer with full-text review screened by two reviewers. The search yielded 231 titles with 10 moving to full-text review and ultimately no titles meeting inclusion criteria. This empty scoping review has identified a paucity of literature reporting on patient engagement in PTMA decision-making. Further research is required to determine the utility of introducing patient partners in this capacity.
