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

AIMS AND

objectivesRegister data and tracking evaluations by patients and their significant others through feedback can assist in the quality assurance of patient education. This study uses an observational, feedback-registry study to analyse systematic, register-based evaluative feedback from patients and their significant others on received knowledge of their care in one university hospital district and the factors connected to the feedback.

designAn observational, feedback-register study.

methodsThe data consisted of evaluative feedback on received knowledge (n = 83,388) in 2019 at a Hospital District in Finland. The data was extracted from a feedback register. Initially, the patients and their significant others gave feedback with structured feedback surveys and/or feedback text messages. Data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics.

resultsEvaluative feedback from patients and their significant others on the quality, understandability, sufficiency and clarity of received knowledge of their care was rather positive. Feedback from patients was more positive than that from their significant others and, correspondingly, from elective patients compared to emergency patients. Positive feedback on received knowledge correlated with a positive perception of the general quality of care.

conclusionsThe results indicate mainly positive evaluations of received knowledge. These findings are relevant for several stakeholders: in the quality assurance of patient education, for example, nurses, healthcare managers and researchers can act in key positions.
