Ethical Principles in Medical Error Disclosure: From Harm to Healing in Clinical Practice.
Article in The Malaysian journal of medical sciences : MJMS, 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
The disclosure of medical errors constitutes a critical element of patient-centred care, one that is both ethically complex and indispensable. This paper explores how the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice provide an ethical foundation for transparent communication, while also confronting challenges such as paternalism and systemic inequities that disproportionately affect marginalised communities. Institutional frameworks, such as the Communication and Optimal Resolution (CANDOR) process, are presented as mechanisms for advancing accountability, learning, and transparency. The discussion reinforces the need for ethical training, protective policies, psychological support for clinicians, and multidisciplinary collaboration. It further asserts that disclosure is a shared ethical responsibility, one that cultivates trust, promotes fairness, and contributes to the continuous improvement of safer and more equitable healthcare systems.
