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

backgroundConsumer engagement in health care is recognized as a critical strategy to minimize healthcare-associated harms, however, little research has focussed on strategies to engage young people in healthcare safety. This study explores the suitability of commonly used engagement strategies, such as brochures, interactive bedside charts or apps, for young people (14-25 years) to improve their healthcare safety, with a focus on cancer care.

methodsFour qualitative online workshops were conducted (N = 19). Two workshops included young people who had experienced cancer (n = 6) and two workshops included staff who support young people who had experienced a diagnosis of cancer (n = 12). Evidence from a systematic review was used to develop case studies of existing strategies as a topic guide for the online workshops. Data were analysed using a framework method and template analysis approach.

resultsThematic analysis against the analytic framework led to the development of four principles for engagement with young people: empowerment, transparency, participatory culture and flexibility. The transition from being 'looked after' to young people being responsible for their own care was an integrative theme which intersected all elements of the framework.

conclusionFor service providers to engage with young people about safety issues in cancer services, the strategies employed need to be tailored to consider the transitional nature of being an adolescent or young adult. A systemic approach that incorporates flexible, tailored engagement strategies, education and empowerment of young people and healthcare providers is required to engage effectively with young people about safety in healthcare. These findings may have implications beyond cancer care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Workshop content was developed with and by the CanEngage team, including the Consumer Advisory Group, who reviewed content and inform wider project priorities.
