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: Establishing proximity care pathways, including the digitalization of healthcare, is valuable for sustainable management of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Patient-Centered Care (PCC) promotion. However, new safety concerns, particularly in therapy management, may arise. The Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) "ProSafe" aims at (i) explore stakeholders' perspectives on medication safety management in proximity care and (ii) analyze which determinants affect the community's perspective. Methods: A survey was co-developed with a Patient Safety Council (PSC) and the support of a pharmaceutical company. A purposeful sampling strategy was implemented to recruit individuals aged 18 and older. Data were collected using a dedicated online platform; differences between patients' and healthy people's perspectives were explored. Preliminary multiple regression analyses were performed to examine how sociodemographic factors, clinical data and level of digitalization affect outcomes using linear and probit models, accounting for the nature of each outcome variable. The models were combined into multiple equations using a Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) approach. Results: 417 individuals completed the survey (81.0% affected by a disease). A positive attitude towards shifting therapy administration from hospital to home setting was observed even if a significantly higher proportion of patients compared to healthy individuals raised concerns regarding a potential negative impact on the doctor-patient relationship (47.0% vs. 32.9%, Conclusion: The community's perspective on the development of proximity care pathways provided valuable insights into concerns, fears, and limitations that could impact the effectiveness of this important shift in healthcare delivery. Effectively addressing these issues is essential to truly bring disease and medication management closer to patients and their living environments while ensuring that the community becomes co-creators in the implementation of proximity care, fostering health equity and patient autonomy.
