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 AND
objectivesIn Cambodia, the patients' rights guideline was officially released in 2007 as a measure of the government policy to promote greater awareness and empower Cambodian people to exercise their rights as patients. The aim of this study was to identify the proportion of patients aware of the existence of patients' rights and compare the proportions of patients intending to exercise their rights and those actually exercising their rights among the aware and unaware groups.
methodsData were collected with a structured questionnaire, using face-to-face interview technique, from 142 randomly selected outpatients visiting the Khmer Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Intention to exercise patients' rights was measured on a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 "definitely not" to 5 "definitely yes").
resultsThe proportion of Cambodian patients who were aware of the existence of patients' rights was 31.0% (95% CI: 23.5, 39.3). The average intention to act scores was 4.0±0.5 for the whole group, and 4.3±0.4 and 3.9±0.5 for those aware and unaware of the existence of patients' rights, respectively. The difference in the mean scores of intentions to act between the aware and unaware groups was statistically significant (mean difference =0.40, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.58, t
conclusionThe proportion of Cambodian outpatients aware of the existence of patients' rights and the proportion of outpatients that exercised their rights were both low. Nevertheless, it appeared that raising awareness of the existence of patients' rights raised patient's intention to act, which corresponds to the hierarchy-of-effects behavioral model.
