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

Shame can inflict deep and lasting psychological harm. However, its pervasive negative effects often go unrecognized by both patients and their providers, and thus, it may remain wholly unaddressed. Shame may be mistaken for guilt, embarrassment, or humiliation, but shame darkens patients' quality of life much more profoundly than these other emotions. For this reason, there is a greater need for providers to remain alert to cues that patients may feel shame and if they suspect this and are right, they may seek to help patients reduce their shame. This article discusses what shame is, how to detect it, and, once detected, how providers might best intervene. The experience of shame commonly results from a wide range of negative social experiences, including discrimination, social exclusion, and patients being medically ill. Recognizing and addressing shame are critical skills that providers should strive to acquire. The interventions discussed here may significantly help undo the shame that these patients self-inflict.
