Time is now to consider how we evaluate person-centred care-the role of patient-reported outcomes.

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
Person-centred care refers to health care that is respectful of and responsive to personal experiences, preferences, needs, goals and values of service users. Despite the growing recognition of the value of patient-reported outcome measures, they are rarely used as evaluation endpoints in person-centred care research and care practices. This paper contributes to knowledge by examining the opportunities and challenges of using patient-reported outcome measures to measure person-centred care. Our focus is not the collection and feedback of patient-reported outcomes to enact person-centred care. We discuss differences between patient- and person-reported outcomes and their role in assessing person-centred care. We also challenge some existing measurement practices and usage of existing patient-reported outcome measures. We critically discuss some potential consequences of current practices, and present possible solutions. We do not have all the answers, and we urge those working in the field of patient-reported measurement to collectively come together to find solutions. With this perspective article, we aim to start the conversation to think differently about how we evaluate person-centred care and propose areas of enquiry that incorporate patient-reported outcomes into the evaluation of person-centred care.
