Addressing Health Communication Gaps: Improving Patient Experiences and Outcomes Through Human-Centered Design.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Communication gaps within healthcare systems significantly compromise patient outcomes. This article explores systemic challenges through the dual lens of personal experience as a cancer survivor and professional insights as a human-centered design leader. Drawing on an IRB-approved study and literature review, it examines how ineffective communication creates barriers to patient understanding and safety, with disproportionate impacts on marginalized populations. The article introduces an innovative application of human-centered design methodology to transform healthcare communication by prioritizing patient needs and experiences. Seven evidence-based strategies provide actionable frameworks for healthcare stakeholders to enhance communication clarity, accessibility, and effectiveness, creating a more equitable, patient-centered healthcare system that serves all populations effectively.
