Co-production of Diagnostic Excellence - Patients, Clinicians, and Artificial Intelligence Comment on "Achieving Diagnostic Excellence: Roadmaps to Develop and Use Patient-Reported Measures With an Equity Lens".
Article in International journal of health policy and management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients often experience long journeys within the healthcare system before obtaining a diagnosis. Though progress has been made in measuring the quality of diagnosis, existing measures largely fail to capture the diagnostic process from the patient's perspective. McDonald and colleagues' paper presents 7 overarching goals for the use of patient-reported measures (PRMs) in diagnostic excellence and presents visual roadmaps to guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of these measures. To accelerate the real-world use of PRMs, organizations should initially prioritize the use of patient-reported metrics that are already in development, such as patient-reported experience measures. Pairing PRMs with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as "diagnostic wayfinding" (a dynamic diagnostic refinement process that also includes analysis of electronic health record data and metadata to characterize the diagnostic journey), should also improve diagnostic performance. Ultimately, combining PRMs with technological advancements holds the potential to achieve true co-production of diagnostic excellence.
