Levels of Patient Satisfaction on Integrative Medicine Before and After Implementation of Diagnosis-related Groups.
Article in Global advances in health and medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThe aim of this article is to study patient satisfaction with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in an in-hospital setting before and after the introduction of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs).
methodsPatients were interviewed regarding a general evaluation of their hospital stay, the psychological talking therapy, the nutrition therapy, and the overall success of the treatment.
resultsThe medical treatment was evaluated by 1158 patients. A very good success was reported by 347, a good by 609, a moderate by 181, and none by 21 patients. DRG implementation showed no significant effects. Psychological talking therapy was evaluated as "very good" (
conclusionBroadening conventional medical treatment with CAM practices can lead to a parallel treatment of DRGs in hospitals working with complementary medicine. This results in very patient-centered therapies, which may impact patient satisfaction.
