A Perspective on the Measurement of Whole Person Health.
Article in Medical care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
There is growing interest in moving away from a reductionistic view of the person and the health services they need to focus on improving the health of the whole person. However, there needs to be agreement about what this focus entails and how to measure its achievement. From this perspective, we offer suggestions for moving the measurement discussion forward. Our key suggestion is to separate the measurement of whole person health (WPH)-that is, the end goal or ultimate outcome we want to improve and/or maintain-from the measurement of WPH determinants-that is, the things that can be intervened upon to maximize WPH. We also offer some next steps toward developing a measure of WPH.
