Exploring the Italian Population's attitudes toward health data sharing for healthcare purpose and scientific research: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the Italian population's knowledge and perceptions regarding health data storage and sharing for treatment and research and to identify factors associated with citizens' attitudes toward data storage and sharing.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire, distributed to 1389 participants, collected sociodemographic information, assessed knowledge and gauged attitudes toward sharing data for treatment and research. Descriptive analyses and logistic regressions were performed to examine the associations between sociodemographic factors and knowledge/attitudes about data storage and sharing.
resultsMost respondents wrongly believed that healthcare providers could access personal health-related data across the entire national territory, while 94% expressed willingness to share personal health data nationwide. A substantial percentage of respondents (73%) fully agreed that storing and sharing personal health-related data could improve research and quality of care.Males and younger individuals (<41 years) were likelier to have higher data-sharing knowledge. Lower educational-level respondents exhibited lower positive attitudes towards sharing health data for treatment and research purposes.
conclusionsThe results provide valuable insights for policymakers, healthcare professionals and researchers seeking to improve data management, promote collaboration and leverage the full potential of health data for personalized care and scientific advancements.
