Good Training Should Be Patient-Centred: An Analysis of Patient-Centredness Among Trauma and Orthopaedic Trainees in Wales.

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-centred care (PCC) is a model of healthcare which encourages collaboration and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients, families and healthcare providers; to provide holistic and bespoke care. This study assessed the current state of PCC and its training among trainees on a Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) rotation in Wales, UK.
methodsA survey was designed to elicit this in three domains: attitudes and self-perceived competencies; formal training and support; administrative support and barriers faced. After trialling in a pilot group, the questionnaire was electronically circulated among trainees and anonymised responses collected.
results69% trainees (43/62) responded to the survey. Most believed that PCC was very important in orthopaedic surgery and had moderate-to-high self-perceived confidence in their abilities (abilities to communicate, address patient fears/anxieties, and provide culturally-sensitive care). Most respondents (>80%) 'often' or 'always' practiced SDM, elicited patient ideas/concerns/expectations, and considered lifestyles/goals when discussing treatments. There was moderate agreement among respondents that the current training programme adequately prepared them to provide PCC, although 74% reported they had not received any formal PCC training. Trainees expressed moderate agreement on receiving "support/guidance" and "constructive feedback on communication skills" from supervisors. 63% trainees expressed interest in training on PCC skills. "Adequate implementation of PCC practices in hospital policy/administration" generated mixed responses. High patient volumes, time constraints, lack of resources and systemic barriers were the commonly cited obstacles to providing PCC.
conclusionOrthopaedic trainees in Wales are cognisant of PCC and are reasonably confident in providing it, but would welcome further training and development of resources.
