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

Patient experience is a crucial measure of healthcare quality with the potential to increase value for several health stakeholders. However, various barriers often hinder its impact on quality improvement. Therefore, valid and reliable instruments developed through structured and collaborative processes are needed to establish methodological and organizational practices and ensure consensus and credibility among all stakeholders. This study presents the development and validation of the Patient Experience Assessment of in-Center Hemodialysis (PEACHD) survey. An expert panel, cognitive interviews, and a pilot test were conducted, involving both people receiving hemodialysis care and professionals from four Italian hospitals. The questionnaire evaluates key aspects of the in-center hemodialysis experience, including the provision of medical information, involvement in treatment decision-making, and communication with professionals. The PEACHD survey demonstrated strong content and face validity, acceptable construct validity, and good internal consistency reliability. Pilot data highlighted that the professional delivering care (i.e. nephrologist or dialysis nurse) significantly influenced patient experience and emphasized the need for a holistic and person-centered approach. The PEACHD survey enables effective patient experience evaluation, enhancing value for both service users and professionals.
