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
purposeThe present study aimed to investigate how patients identify a quality urologist in primary health care and how they determine and evaluate their provider's qualities before their first examination. PATIENTS AND
methodsA specific questionnaire (The ESUO Questionnaire) was prepared to describe the domains that influence the patient's evaluation and summarize the urologist related characteristics and behaviours that the patients estimate are more important. A total of 335 patients, over 18 years of age, presented in primary healthcare urology practice, completed the survey. The participants were divided into three age groups; 18-39 years of age (111 patients), 40-59 years of age (111 patients) and 113 patients 60 years of age and older.
resultsThe majority of patients (68.4%) selected that the urologist must be efficient and well trained. This attitude was primarily expressed in patients ≥60 years of age. Individuals under 60 years old stated that they expect a detailed examination and that the patient should be the urologist's priority. The majority of the patients evaluates friends or family's proposals concerning the urologist's quality primarily and believes that there is at least good quality of urological health care.
conclusionMost patients evaluate primarily the effectiveness of the care they receive instead of the urologist's personality traits or personal relationships.
