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

Background: An improved understanding of patients' lived experiences can identify opportunities to advance patient-centered care, particularly during times of limited healthcare resources. Objectives: To better understand the patient experiences of hospitalization and inform the development of hospital-level strategies to improve inpatient patient-centered care. Methods: In this multicenter national qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews of patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Using thematic analysis, we organized our findings around the Levels of Personhood conceptual model. Results: We interviewed 47 adults, including 26 (55%) who identified as female, 14 (30%) as Black, and 19 (40%) as Hispanic/Latino. Median age was 61 (IQR 49-66) and 21% of patients had ICU admissions. We identified three themes: (1) Preserving biologic personhood is important to maintain autonomy; (2) Prioritizing individual personhood is crucial for healing and medical decision-making; (3) Maintaining sociologic personhood is necessary for recovery. We identified several in-hospital interventions aimed at improving patient-centered care. Conclusions: We identified themes describing patients' lived experiences of hospitalization and propose a modified model of personhood that can be leveraged to study and design interventions aimed at improving patient-centered hospital care.
