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

backgroundPatient blood management (PBM) has been shown to improve patient outcomes and optimise resource use. However, the systematic collection and analysis of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) remains challenging, limiting their integration into PBM pathways and into value-based healthcare (VBHC) strategies.

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the feasibility and adherence to an automated VBHC digital tool for PROMs collection in a population of cardiac surgical patients, within the context of PBM implementation.

designA single-centre, pragmatic, prospective feasibility study.

settingA tertiary Portuguese hospital considering data from 1 March to 6 September 2024. A total of 12 professionals were actively involved in the patient journey design. PATIENTS: A total of 221 patients (65.2% men, mean age 66.7 ± 9.9 years) with a scheduled cardiothoracic surgery were included.Main outcome measures: Percentage of planned interactions successfully completed.

resultsA two-phase digital PROMs journey was implemented in less than 2 months. A total of 638 interactions were completed by 221 patients, resulting in a global completion proportion of 72.1%. 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36) and BPI questionnaires, completed by 77% of patients, results at 90 days compared to results at initial evaluation (SF-36 physical: t = -0.424,

conclusionsWe showed the feasibility of implementing a digital tool to monitor patient PROMs, along with its adoption by patients and health professionals. This strategy has the potential to contribute to improving healthcare professionals' motivation, access to real-world data, personalised monitoring, and allowing for faster implementation of corrective actions, with an impact on patients' outcomes and costs.
