Patient awareness, involvement, and learning needs in health technology assessment - a survey of patients, caregivers, and patient advocates.
Article in International journal of technology assessment in health care, 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
introductionPatient involvement in health technology assessment (HTA) is nascent globally especially in Asia. The aim was to assess patient awareness, involvement, and learning needs of HTA, particularly in Asia.
methodAn online survey assessed HTA awareness, involvement, and learning needs among patients and caregivers across 33 countries from October 2021 to July 2022.
resultsThe survey of 170 participants (127 Asians, 43 non-Asians) revealed that 52.3 percent (89 of 170) were unaware of HTA, only 14.1 percent (24 of 170) engaged in HTA, and only 9.3 percent (15 of 161) had received training. The Asian group exhibited significantly lower HTA awareness (mean score 24.6 vs. 30.4,
conclusionPatient awareness and involvement in HTA were low globally, particularly in Asia. There was a strong patient learning need for HTA globally.
