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

aimThe objectives of the study were to determine the level of satisfaction with Mental Health and Psycho-social Support Services (MHPSS) provided to Syrians under temporary protection (SuTP) in Turkey and identify predictors that significantly determine the satisfaction with the MHPSS. This study is part of an effort by Ministry of Health (MoH) and World Health Organization (WHO) to evaluate the improvement in the MHPSS following capacity strengthening of social and health providers.

methods357 Syrians under temporary protection were interviewed as they exited the Refugee Health Training Centers in 7 provinces in Turkey (Adana, Gaziantep, Hatay, Istanbul, Izmir and Sanliurfa), using patient exit interviews during mid-Oct - mid-Nov 2019. Uni and bivariate analysis for association was done using Chi square test for categorical variables, looking for significance at

resultsOverall satisfaction with services was 93%. The profile of the MHPSS user suggests that the odds of using the service are twice as much for people aged 40+ years (OR 2.016, CI95% [1.129-3.601]), and five times less for married women (OR 0.180, CI95% [0.083-0.391]). The service characteristics that can predict service satisfaction are "having the needs met" (OR 138.73, CI95% [27.99-687.54]) and "satisfaction with the length of the appointments" (OR 54.50, CI95% [6.07-489.57]). There was no multicollinearity detected between the predictors.

conclusionsMHPSS services provided by professionals trained by MoH and WHO, have a high satisfaction rate and are serving the SuTP population in need. The high satisfaction rate is predicted by having MHPSS needs met, which is a key indication of the usefulness of these services.
