Achieving Diagnostic Excellence: Roadmaps to Develop and Use Patient-Reported Measures With an Equity Lens.
Article in International journal of health policy and management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundDiagnostic excellence refers to the optimal process to attain an accurate and precise explanation about a patient's condition and incorporates the perspectives of patients and their care partners. Patient-reported measures (PRMs), designed to capture patient-reported information, have potential to contribute to achieving diagnostic excellence. We aimed to craft a set of roadmaps illustrating goals and guiding the development of PRMs for diagnostic excellence ("Roadmaps").
methodsWe used iterative inputs from environmental literature scans, expert consultations, and patient voice and employed human-centred design (HCD) and equity-focused road-mapping. The culminating activity of these approaches was an Expert Convening.
resultsUse of PRMs can achieve multiple goals for diagnostic excellence, including but not limited to: (1) PRMs for diagnostic continuity, (2) diagnostic PRM alerts, (3) PRM-based quality improvement, (4) PRMs for research, (5) PRMs for routine screening, (6) PRM-based diagnostic excellence population-level patterns, and (7) PRMs supporting patient storytelling. Equity is considered as a cross-cutting goal. Altogether these and future goals support operationalising a vision of patient-reported diagnostic excellence. Roadmaps were developed as a dynamic tool to illustrate PRMs in relation to specific steps with feedback loops to accomplish goals, anticipated timeframes (8-15 years), synergies to foster, and challenges to overcome. Roadmaps are practical in their following PRMs through the stages of development, endorsement, implementation and scaling, and acting upon those measures. Timeframe estimates assume immediate transitions between these stages and no acceleration through incentives and active coordination.
conclusionPRMs for diagnostic excellence have potential to connect patient perspectives, equity, and achievable goals. Roadmaps offer a design approach to enable coordinating measurement activities among diverse stakeholders. Roadmaps also highlight versatility in ways patient-reported information can be collected and used, from clinical settings to public health contexts. Patient-reported diagnostic excellence cannot be established as a solely top-down endeavour, but inherently benefits from bottom-up approaches.
