Client Satisfaction of Antiretroviral Therapy Service Delivery: A Cross-Sectional Study at an Antiretroviral Therapy Center.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 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
contextPeople living with HIV (PLHIV)/AIDS are faced with the task of maintaining optimal health status despite an increasing insult to their immune status. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) centers provide comprehensive services to all PLHIV enrolled under the program. Patients with higher satisfaction levels may also have improved health outcomes.
aimThe aim of this study was to assess the client's satisfaction on ART service delivery and to identify the factors associated with client's satisfaction. SETTINGS AND
designThis was a facility-based, cross-sectional study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted from August to October 2018 at the ART center of Rajamahendravaram. A total of 485 HIV-positive clients above the age of 15 years on ART for >6 months were selected by systematic random sampling after taking informed verbal consent. Data were collected by interviewing with the help of a validated structured English-version Likert-scale questionnaire, that is, University of Gondar College of Medicine and Health Sciences Institute of Public Health Pro forma. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Binary logistic regression and Chi-square test were conducted to identify the association between the explanatory variables and outcome variables (patient satisfaction).
resultsThe mean age of the clients was 39.6 ± 9.9 years. The overall satisfaction rate among the clients was 92.6%. Age, marital status, education, family income, socioeconomic status, and the waiting period to see the doctor were statistically significantly associated with the level of satisfaction of the clients (
conclusionThe present study shows high levels (92.6%) of client satisfaction with services provided at the ART center, Rajamahendravaram. This motivates the health-care workers, program planners, and policymakers for a better continuum of care.
