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

aimTo describe patient complaints and to examine possible associations between healthcare providers' statements and reports of satisfaction/dissatisfaction.

designA retrospective and descriptive design was used to examine filed complaints.

methodsComplaints from one Patient Advisory Committee in Sweden in 2011 was examined using three different protocols/reading guides (

resultsLess than one-third of the complainants were satisfied after handling and with healthcare providers' statements about the complaint. The most frequent causes for dissatisfaction were that the healthcare provider 'did not tell the truth' or 'gave insufficient information'. There was a statistically significant association with dissatisfaction if the statement from the healthcare provider included the category 'disagree/defend themselves'. Four categories were associated with being satisfied and the associations were statistically significant when two or more of these were combined.
