Symptom Severity, Mood, and Healthcare Use Are Associated With Satisfaction in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Article in Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND &
aimsPatient satisfaction is an important, but largely overlooked, component of management of functional gastrointestinal disorders. We aimed to identify demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and health-care use factors associated with satisfaction of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
methodsWe collected data from consecutive patients at an outpatient gastroenterology clinic of a tertiary care center from 2017 through 2019; the patients completed an electronic symptom survey at their initial visit and 3-6 months later. Patients were included in the study if they met Rome IV criteria for IBS with no organic cause for their symptoms. Patient satisfaction was measured using the irritable bowel syndrome satisfaction with care scale. We collected demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and healthcare use information from survey responses and review of medical records.
resultsOf the 137 patients who completed the study, most were satisfied a great deal (34.9%) or completely (18.6%), whereas 6.2% were not satisfied at all and 14.7% were a little satisfied. Among the 5 satisfaction subscales, the highest proportion of patients were satisfied with connection with their provider (93.4%). The subscale benefits of the visit had the lowest satisfaction rate (70.8%). Factors associated with overall satisfaction scores in the 3-6 months after initial consultation included decreased severity of IBS, higher number of follow-up gastroenterology visits, higher number of diagnostic tests during the follow-up period, and higher number of recommendations made at initial visit. Additionally, lower depression score at initial visit associated with higher satisfaction after 3-6 months.
conclusionsBased on a survey of 137 patients with IBS, factors associated with satisfaction 3-6 months after establishing care with a gastroenterologist include reduced IBS severity, lower depression score at initial visit, higher number of recommendations, and higher number of follow-up gastroenterology visits.
