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

Background: Patient experience is routinely collected in the clinical environment in many different ways throughout various person-provider encounters, but so far limited research focused on understanding the methods of using it to improve the quality of healthcare. This paper presents a protocol for a methodological scoping review examining the methods of obtaining, analysing, reporting, and using patient experience data for quality improvement in rehabilitation settings. Methods: The scoping review will be conducted according to the guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the methodological framework by Arksey & O'Malley. A comprehensive search of the literature will be performed using a three-step search strategy: an initial limited search of two databases was already performed and helped to identified relevant key words and index terms. The developed search string will be adapted and applied across four databases. This will be followed by search of the reference lists of selected sources and hand-search relevant data-hubs. Studies with a clear focus on patient experience or feedback collected or used for healthcare improvement in rehabilitation context, will be included. A data extraction framework will be developed and piloted to guide the literature screening and data charting. Qualitative content analysis will be employed to address research questions and the results will be presented - beside the descriptive format - as a map of data in chart and tabular formats. Conclusions: This scoping review will show the extent and scope of the literature on the applied methods of collecting, communicating, and using patient experience for quality improvement in post-acute rehabilitation settings and will evaluate and map the evidence on these topics. The findings will inform a research project entitled "An exploration into the use of patient experience to inform improvement in a National Rehabilitation Hospital".
