Quality of Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness Services at Health Centers in Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) strategy includes both preventive and curative interventions to improve practices in health facilities, the health system and at home. The quality of these interventions has been very rarely subjected to scientific inquiry in Ethiopia. This study assessed quality of IMNCI services in health centers of Jimma, South West Ethiopia, 2014.
methodsA facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2-15, 2014 in the health centers of Jimma among 411 care takers exit interview and total of 60 consultation sessions were observed using checklist and participants enrolled through convenient sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used and factor analysis was employed to create measurement scales for satisfaction of caretakers. Factor scores were used in linear regression analyses to determine presence of statistically significant association between explanatory variables and the outcome variable at P value <0.05.
resultsThe response rate for the exit interview was 411 (97.4%). The mean score of overall caretakers satisfaction was 63.4. Specifically 23.4%, 33.6%, and 19.2% of the respondents were dissatisfied with waiting time, amount of explanation they received about the problem or treatment, and availability of medicines, respectively. Availability of prescribed medications (95% CI: 0.577 to 0.047), receiving first dose of medication at health facility (95% CI: 0.087, 0.552), receiving laboratory services (95% CI:0.455,0.056) were among factors that significantly associated with the caretakers' satisfaction score. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Perceived mean of caretakers' satisfaction at the health centers of Jimma town was low as compared to national standards and long waiting time while providing services. Availability of prescribed medications, receiving first dose of medication and receiving laboratory services were factors associated with patients' satisfaction. Respective health centers need to ensure availability of medications and supplies and professionals need to pay special attention on medical services like laboratory services, medication and decrease waiting time while providing health services.
