Satisfaction levels with physical therapy in hospitalized patients.
Article in Brazilian journal of physical therapy. 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
backgroundPatient's satisfaction level is considered an indicator that interferes with interventions effectiveness. There is evidence from other health professionals that patients with higher satisfaction level recover faster. However, benefits toward physical therapy intervention is poorly known.
objectiveTo measure the inpatient satisfaction level receiving physical therapy care and to evaluate which aspects of these treatments are flawed.
methodsPatients admitted to hospital were evaluated using MedRisk Instrument for Measuring Patient Satisfaction with Physical Therapy Care (MRPS) that scores from 1 to 5 (higher values indicate higher satisfaction) for each item. Patients clinical and demographic characteristics and the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) were also collected. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted.
results200 patients were evaluated (50.9±18.81 years, 58% male). Most of MRPS items were above 4. The highest scoring item (4.75) was physical therapist's respect to the patient. The lowest scoring item (1.82) was in relation to physical therapy guidelines at hospital discharge. Mean MRPS total score and GPE were 46.09±4.93 and 2.18±1.18, respectively.
conclusionThe majority of patients are satisfied and showed improvement after physical therapy treatment. There is the need for advances and intervention in relation to physical therapy guidelines at hospital discharge. MRPS instrument proved to be appropriate to measure inpatient's satisfaction level with physical therapy care.
