Experiences and Satisfaction of Patients with Non-Communicable Diseases with Current Care in Primary Health Care Centres in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary healthcare centres (PHCs) play a pivotal role in chronic disease care and prevention and therefore in the experience and satisfaction of patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This survey examined the experiences and satisfaction of 315 Patients with NCDs receiving care from PHCs. Participants were from attendees at Ministry of Health PHCs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Findings indicate that most patients were satisfied with the care they received and confirmed the importance of providers' and physicians' communication skills in this. There was a lack of evidence of managed care, including patient involvement in disease management suggesting that steps are needed to empower patients to take a greater role in disease management. This study emphasises the important role of physicians in providing patients with information and empowering them to access community health facilities for self-managed care. This study also indicates a need to strengthen the primary health care system's focus on care beyond PHCs.
