Article in Patient related outcome measures, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPatient-centered care is a practice of caring for patients in ways that are valuable to the individual patient and families. Implementation of the practice is a common problem worldwide. In Ethiopia, the available information is limited and is largely skewed to certain dimensions of the practice.
objectiveTo assess the patient-centered health care practice and associated factors among public and private general hospitals of Addis Ababa 2020.
methodsAn institution-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in two public, and seven private general hospitals located in Addis Ababa from April 08 to May 20, 2020. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select the study participants. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questioner, then entered into Epi-data version 3.1, and finally analyzed using SPSS version 25. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of clients' perceived patient-centered care. Statistical significance was declared at p-value <0.05 and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval.
resultsA total of 570 patients were involved with 99.8% response rate. About 49% (95% CI: 45.0-53.1) of patients rated the practice as good. It was 27.8% (95% CI: 22.5-33.1), and 70.2% (95% CI: 64.6-75.4) for public, and private hospitals, respectively Hospital type (AOR:0.21; 95% CI: 0.13-0.35), service easiness (AOR:3.3; 95% CI: 2.0-5.8), hospital attractiveness (AOR:2.3; 95% CI: 1.2,4.5), privacy to access care (AOR:2.0; 95% CI: 1.1,4.1), information on plan of care (AOR:2.3; 95% CI; 1.1,4.6), information on medication (AOR:3.1; 95% CI; 1.5,6.3), and perceived intimacy with the provider (AOR: 0.4; 95% CI;0.2,0.8) were the factors associated with the practice.
conclusionEven though providing patient-centered care has been the focus of quality improvement in Ethiopia, this study showed it is mostly being implemented from the traditional provider-centered approach and public hospitals were lower in practice than private hospitals.
