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

Financial harm to patients from preventable medical errors is a widespread problem that can have long-term consequences financially as well as on well-being and experience. Organizations need to develop better measurement strategies for this harm, aligned with their patient safety efforts, and implement robust mitigation strategies, such as including financial harm in root cause analysis processes and implementing Communication and Resolution Programs. In addition, the full health care system, including health systems and payers, must come together to create best practices and policies to ensure that patients are not harmed financially when experiencing medical error.
