Perception of 'patient safety culture' among healthcare professionals in the field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and CAR-T therapy: a multicentre cross-sectional observational study by Italian Transplant Group for Bone Marrow Transplantation, Haematopoietic Stem Cells and Cell Therapy (GITMO).

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
Adverse events associated with healthcare services in hospitalised patients represent a growing burden, generating significant costs for individuals, healthcare facilities and society. Their clinical and economic impact is particularly critical in the context of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy. A positive safety culture is widely recognised as a crucial factor in reducing hospital errors. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of 'Patient Safety Culture' (PSC) among professionals working in the HSCT and CAR-T therapy fields.A multicentre, cross-sectional observational study was conducted by GITMO. The sample included healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses and others) who had been part of the Transplant Programme for at least 2 years. To assess PSC perception, the validated Italian version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety (SOPS V.2.0) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was used.The survey was completed by 166 professionals from 47 centres (54% participation rate). Binary logistic regression showed that haematologists reported higher PSC perceptions compared with nurses with positive responses exceeding 75%, particularly in dimensions such as 'Teamwork' (nurse OR=0.306, p=0.009), 'Organizational Learning-Continuous Improvement' (nurse OR=0.332, p=0.011), 'Response to Error' (nurse OR=0.360, p=0.024), 'Supervisor Support' (nurse OR=0.160, p<0.001), 'Communication About Error' (nurse OR=0.152, p=0.001) and 'Global Instrument' (nurse OR=0.150, p<0.001).The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address discrepancies in PSC perceptions across professional roles, age groups and regions. Enhancing staffing levels and promoting the use of incident reporting systems are critical strategies to strengthen safety culture in HSCT and CAR-T therapy settings.
