Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Quality of Health Services Provided by Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Departments in the Opinion of Patients: Pilot Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the quality of assistance provided by emergency medical service (EMS) and hospital emergency department (ED) staff in the opinion of patients.
methodsSimple random sampling was performed to select the responders. A group of 131 people who correctly completed the questionnaire form was included in the study. The questionnaire was directed only to patients receiving EMS and/or ED assistance during the time period when the pandemic was announced in Poland.
resultsProblems in the ED were reported by 38 people (31.15%), and calling EMS was reported as generating problems by 7 people (16.67%). Dissatisfaction with the help provided in EDs was reported by 33 patients (27.05%), and dissatisfaction with the help by EMS was reported by eight people (19.05%). The assessment of the patient's satisfaction level significantly correlated with the waiting time in the ED (Spearman = 0.217;
conclusionsPatients of the ambulance service and hospital emergency departments during the pandemic positively assessed the actions of medical services, despite significant delays in providing health services.
