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

Personal Health Information (PHI) sharing through Health Information Exchange (HIE) enhances patient safety in Canada, yet not all provinces and territories voluntarily disclose PHI on safety incidents to federal and pan-Canadian surveillance systems. A frequently cited barrier by healthcare organizations for HIE between different interoperable health databases is patients' and families' concerns for their privacy. This explorative qualitative study examined patients' and families' attitudes toward PHI sharing, including its secondary use in patient safety events. Rather than expressing reluctance, participants described support for HIE when privacy safeguards, such as defined sharing purposes and anonymous formats, were in place. These findings present a significant opportunity for health leaders and data custodians to use the research findings to create a patient-centric framework for the HIE of PHI.
