Patient trust in the health system, Internet information searching and the patient-provider relationship.

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
Importance: A positive patient-provider relationship is critical to the delivery of quality healthcare. Objectives: To examine the association between patients' level of trust in the healthcare system, Internet information searching and the patient-provider relationship. Methods: Analysis of adult patients aged ≥ 18 in the US nationally representative Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 7-2024) (unweighted Results: The proportion of patients with high trust in the healthcare system was 31%. Patients with low trust (17%) were more likely than those with high trust (3%) to perceive that in visits with their healthcare provider, talking about information found on the Internet, the patient-provider interaction became worse ( Conclusion: Patients with low trust in the healthcare system are at greater risk of having less than optimal relationships with their healthcare provider due to discussions over health information found on the Internet.
