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
introductionPatient participation and safety are pivotal in healthcare quality, internationally acknowledged for enhancing health services. This study examines the correlation between two assessment tools, the Patient Participation Culture Tool (PACT) and the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSPSC), using retrospective data from 2014 to 2021
resultsData from 17 hospitals were analysed. The participants were distributed across 43 wards, and a match based on staff positions resulted in 37 different groups, predominantly comprised of nurses (>89%). At ward level, five PACT domains correlated significantly with ten different HSPSC dimensions (p<0.05), while a significant correlation was found between four PACT domains and seven HSPSC dimensions based on function. The correlation graphs demonstrate strong internal coherence within safety and participation culture measurements, highlighting the distinctiveness and validity of each questionnaire in capturing intricacies within patient safety and participation culture, supporting their construct validity.
conclusionsThis study compared the PACT and the HSPSC, revealing their connections and unique features. Using Spearman's correlation, it positively linked patient participation and safety culture, finding significant correlations, mainly moderate, between their specific aspects. It highlighted how patient involvement positively influences safety practices in healthcare, valuable for enhancing overall quality.
