1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposePatient satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality and hospital performance. This study aims to assess inpatient satisfaction at district-level hospitals and explore the determinants of inpatient satisfaction. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 1458 adults from inpatient departments of 47 district-level hospitals in 16 districts across Beijing were recruited with a multi-stage stratified sample at Beijing in 2019. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the influence of patient and institutional characteristics on inpatient satisfaction in four domains - administrative process, hospital environment, medical care, hospitalization expenses, and overall satisfaction.

resultsOf the 1458 participants, 577 (39.6%) were men, 581 (39.8%) were over 60 years of age. The average value of satisfaction score measured by a 5-point Likert scale were 4.37, 4.00, 4.44, 3.89, and 4.33 for the four domains and overall satisfaction. Patient and institutional characteristics were strongly associated with inpatient satisfaction. Patients with higher educational level were more satisfied with administrative process (

conclusionPatient satisfaction was influenced by demographic characteristics and hospital features. These determinants should be considered in hospital evaluation.
