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

Person-centered care focuses on the needs of the individual receiving care, and involves cooperation between patients and health professionals to develop and monitor care. This research demonstrates that online patient reviews provide a rich, real-time, and detailed source of patient experience that can be used for this purpose. This study also shows that unstructured online data can be quantified using machine learning and natural language processing to automatically flag and rate patient reviews. We describe a supervised learning approach, training a model on a large dataset of manually annotated patient reviews. We report model scores of 99% accuracy in predicting overall score, and 93% to 99% in predicting relevance to seven domains of patient experience, such as Effective Treatment, Fast Access, and Emotional Support. Furthermore, we show statistically significant alignment between these aggregated online patient reviews and HCAHPS star ratings-a "gold-standard" measure of care quality for hospitals in the United States. This approach enables benchmarking between health systems and evaluating the impact of interventions on patient experience, while quantifying and enhancing the patient-centeredness of care.
