Effect of patient information leaflet on working pattern and patient satisfaction level in a busy Indian day care operative theater complex.
Article in Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsIn a day care setting, communication of preprocedure instructions prior to general anesthesia (GA) is critical. Verbal information may be inadequate at times leading to unnecessary rescheduling. The aim of the study is to evaluate the use of patient information leaflet (PIL) and its impact on rescheduling and patients' satisfaction levels. MATERIAL AND
methodsAdult ASA I-III patients scheduled for elective day care Head Neck procedures such as direct laryngoscopy, examination under anesthesia, and biopsy under GA were recruited. In the outpatient department (OPD), the attending surgeons verbally instructed the patients as well as handed them the PIL. The process was streamlined over a month and thereafter patients' satisfaction levels and rescheduling rates were captured over 2 months. This was compared to the data from the pre-PIL phase.
resultPrior to PIL, 12% cases were rescheduled due to avoidable causes. After introducing of the PIL, only 8% case were rescheduled (
conclusionPIL is an effective way of imparting perioperative instructions to patients which will improve not only satisfaction but also reduce patient rescheduling. The institution is in the process of implementing PIL to provide instructions to patient posted for day care procedures.
