Article in Journal of patient-centered research and reviews, 2026. 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
Purpose: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is an oxygen delivery method with numerous benefits for severely ill patients. There is a paucity of research focused on the perspectives of patients receiving HFNC oxygen therapy. This study aimed to engage with patients to gain a clearer understanding of their experiences, priorities, and health-related quality of life. Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed methods study was completed with 10 adult inpatients who had received HFNC oxygen therapy during their hospital admission. Semi-structured interviews and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health Scale were used to identify participant perceptions of their physical and mental health, priorities, and impressions of activities of daily living, such as eating, drinking, and communicating. Results: T-scores from the PROMIS Global Health Scale indicated that overall, participants rated their physical health as fair and their mental health as good. Analysis of semi-structured interviews identified three themes: Perceptions of the HFNC Experience, Re-conceptualizing Health in the Context of Severe Illness, and Redirecting the Interview Narrative. Conclusions: Inpatients on HFNC can be supported by addressing their concerns related to unpleasant side effects of the HFNC device, facilitating their return to autonomy, and identifying and removing barriers to social support systems. Healthcare institutions can demonstrate their commitment to patient-centered care by seeking to understand the patient perspective and using that information to guide organizational decisions.
