Patient Satisfaction With Care Is Associated With Better Outcomes in Function and Pain 1 Year After Lumbar Spine Surgery.
Article in Journal of patient-centered research and reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThere has been increasing interest in patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) to evaluate the patient experience and satisfaction with care. We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study to determine any association between patients' satisfaction of care and their outcomes 1 year after lumbar spine surgery.
methodsSatisfaction with care was recorded through telephone interviews and a standardized questionnaire. Baseline data collection (300 patients) and 1-year follow-up (209 patients) were conducted through The Swedish National Register for Spine Surgery (Swespine). Exposures were patient experiences, health care professional (HCP) attitudes, shared decision-making, and overall satisfaction with care. Associations were evaluated using adjusted analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models.
resultsSatisfaction with HCP attitudes was not associated with improvements at 1 year in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) or back pain; however a significantly greater improvement in leg pain score was reported by patients who were highly satisfied (3.0 points) versus the moderate/low satisfaction group (1.3 points; P=0.008). For shared decision-making, high satisfaction was associated with significantly greater improvements, as compared to moderate/low satisfaction, in ODI (20 vs 11 points; P=0.001), back pain (2.6 vs 1.7 points; P=0.05), and leg pain (3.2 vs 1.9 points, P=0.007). Similarly, high overall satisfaction with care was associated with significantly greater improvements in ODI (18 vs 10 points; P=0.02), back pain (3.2 vs 0.6 points; P<0.001), and leg pain (2.6 vs 1.1 points; P=0.009).
conclusionsFindings indicate that shared decision-making on perioperative care and patients' overall satisfaction with care were associated with better health outcomes 1 year after lumbar spine surgery.
