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

The evaluation of hospital reform effectiveness in health care reform is very important and beneficial since it helps the government to understand the current situation of pilot county public hospitals and smoothly start the reform in all county hospitals. This study used sample hospitals data from 2010 to 2012 to evaluate the effectiveness of public hospital reform through comparisons between 2010 and 2012 in hospital operating efficiency, clinical terminal quality, the average medical expense of patients, patient and medical staff overall satisfaction. The results highlight that there was no improvement in hospitals' operating efficiency, pilot hospitals' clinical terminal quality was lower than its counterpart, and the two objectives had been improved: medical expense control and inpatients' satisfaction, however, nearly 68.46% medical staffs were dissatisfied with the outcomes of the reform in pilot hospitals staff satisfaction. Nevertheless, the reform was helpful to improve the hospital current situation with some of the objectives having been achieved. It has not completely succeeded in Guangxi, China.
