Patient safety culture and reporting barriers among healthcare professionals in the United Arab Emirates: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundTo assess patient safety culture using the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) and to examine associations between occupational characteristics, perceived incident-reporting barriers, and overall safety culture scores among healthcare professionals in the United Arab Emirates. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and March 2023 among 629 healthcare professionals in the United Arab Emirates, including physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, using convenience sampling. Participants completed a sociodemographic and work characteristics questionnaire alongside the HSOPSC. Item-level positive response rates were calculated, and overall HSOPSC mean scores were compared across occupational characteristics and reporting-barrier frequency categories using
resultsReporting of near-miss events was limited (40.1%), despite high levels of perceived interpersonal respect (84.2%). Respondents reporting barriers seldom demonstrated significantly higher patient safety culture scores across the majority of barrier domains (
conclusionTargeted system-level interventions, including simplification of reporting processes, strengthening nonpunitive culture, and improving feedback mechanisms, are recommended to enhance reporting and patient safety outcomes.
