Satisfaction with in vitro fertilization treatment: patients' experiences and professionals' perceptions.
Article in Fertility research and practice, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundThis paper investigates patients' satisfaction with various aspects of fertility care and seeks to determine to what extent fertility specialists are able to assess patient satisfaction. Patients' experiences with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) services and facilities have been compiled and examined in order to discover whether patients' satisfaction is correlated to psychological factors and demographic, socio-economic, and health characteristics, and whether patients' satisfaction has an influence on the willingness to pay (WTP) for IVF treatment.
methodsThe study was carried out on 204 patients and 19 fertility professionals from 8 public IVF units in Israel.
resultsThe study found that, overall, infertile patients are satisfied with the care they received. Several demographic variables (age; education; income; number of fertility treatments) and psychological factors ('Pessimism' and 'Activeness'), were found to be significantly correlated with patient satisfaction with IVF. The results yielded a negative correlation between the WTP for IVF treatment and the satisfaction with access to care and physical conditions.
conclusionsPatient satisfaction is an important component in the evaluation of fertility treatments as well as other medical interventions. Insights into the quality of care as seen from the patients' perspective may help healthcare staff better meet patients' needs, wishes, and priorities.
