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

Since its establishment in 2005, the HTAi Patient and Citizen Involvement in HTA Interest Group (PCIG) has worked to strengthen health technology assessment (HTA) by systematically incorporating patient and citizen perspectives. Over two decades, PCIG has advanced this goal through multistakeholder projects and collaborations that have produced practical tools, guidance, and methods to support patient involvement in HTA worldwide. Through global knowledge exchange, PCIG has fostered shared learning and capacity building for inclusive, participatory HTA. Its work continues to drive a shift in the mindset of the HTA community - from passive consultation to active partnership with patients and citizens - and encourages investment in robust research to understand patient perspectives. As health systems increasingly aim to reflect lived experiences and community values to improve the implementation and impact of services, PCIG's journey offers a compelling example of the long-term value of collective action, sustained engagement, and meaningful involvement in HTA.
