Measuring patient and carer experience related to paediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy: multicentre questionnaire study.
Article in Frontline gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe Paediatric Endoscopy Global Rating Scale (P-GRS) is a quality improvement tool used in the UK. An important aspect of this includes regular surveys on the patient and/or carer's endoscopy experience. The aim of our study was to design and implement a patient/carer experience questionnaire.
methodsThis questionnaire was designed to obtain feedback on patient and/or carer satisfaction with their endoscopy experience. Question selection was based on relevant measures in the endoscopy Global Rating Scale, with input from clinical governance, Patient Advice and Liaison Service and a hospital youth forum. This was distributed to patients and/or carers in three UK paediatric endoscopy services during six surveys between 2013 and 2018. Data were then collated and analysed on Microsoft Excel for Office 365 MSO (16.0.11901.20070).
resultsOverall, 830 endoscopic procedures occurred during the six survey periods. 270 questionnaires were returned. Feedback from the questionnaires were mostly positive (overall satisfaction rated 'excellent' or 'good' was seen in 87% of responses) but also identified areas of improvement, such as in managing postprocedure pain and having a separate space for adolescents for preprocedure discussions. Improvements in satisfaction scores were noted in one unit over time, particularly in preprocedure preparation (from 86% to 100%), and overall satisfaction with endoscopy experience (81%-100%).
conclusionAll three paediatric endoscopy services found this questionnaire useful in identifying areas needing improvement and in demonstrating compliance with measures within the P-GRS quality of patient experience domain. Further work includes exploring ways to increase response rates, as well as developing age-appropriate and electronic versions.
