Physician and Patient Perspectives of the Usefulness and Accuracy of Medical Intuition: A Prospective Pragmatic Trial.
Article in Global advances in integrative medicine and health. 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
Background: Physicians often use their intuition during the diagnostic process. Intuition can also be used by professional medical intuitives trained to obtain information about the potential underlying causes of health concerns. Objective: To evaluate physician and patient perceptions of the usefulness, accuracy of, and satisfaction with medical intuition sessions and their influence on the clinical process, comparing them to virtual usual care medical visits. Methods: This prospective within-participant design study was conducted between April and August 2024. Forty patients received an online usual care medical visit followed by a medical intuition session attended by their physician. Quantitative and qualitative surveys assessed physician and patient perspectives of the visits. Results: Physicians' average usefulness rating for medical intuition sessions was high overall (80.8 out of 100) and greater than usual care ( Conclusions: Medical intuition integration into healthcare has promising potential, especially in validating patients' symptoms and enhancing comprehension of the emotional and spiritual contributions of disease. Future research should use more robust research designs, including randomized control, larger sample sizes, and a long-term follow-up.
