[Patient complaints: an opportunity to improve the quality of care of older people with multimorbidity in Burkina Faso].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionLittle data exist on patient complaints to identify the strategy for the improvement of the quality of care of older people with multimorbidities. The aim of this study was to investigate the complaints of older people with multimorbidities at the health care facilities in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in the health care facilities in Bobo-Dioulasso from November 2013 to February 2014. Older people aged 60 years or more, with at least a chronic disease, examined in ambulatory or in hospital during the study period were included. Qualitative interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire. A content analysis was performed.
resultsWe recorded the complaints related to long waiting time for health care, unsuitable hospital transfer service, lack of shared information on diseases and unsuitable hospitality conditions for older patients come to consultation and hospitalization.
conclusionImprovement strategies should include the renovation and extension of the waiting rooms in the health care facilities, the separation of chronic care practice from acute care practice in ambulatory and in hospital, the support to the empowerment through a better communication with the patient, a community mutual assistance group and the involvement of family members.
