Article in Health science reports, 2023. 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
Background and Aims: Client satisfaction is the difference between the healthcare services delivered and the needs of the client. Anecdotal evidence suggests the quality of maternal health and delivery services in Ghana especially in the Upper West Region is appalling. Moreover, there is a paucity of data on clients' satisfaction with maternal and delivery services rendered by healthcare. This study, therefore, assessed clients' satisfaction with delivery services and their associated factors. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included 431 women who had delivered in the last 7 days from four health facilities within Sissala East Municipality using a multistage and simple random sampling technique. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic and client satisfaction data. All statistical analyses were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 26.0 and GraphPad Prism Version 8.0. A Results: Clients' satisfaction with general delivery services was rated as 80.3% and was significantly associated with process-related factors ( Conclusion: More than two-thirds of women are satisfied with delivery services within selected health facilities in the Sissala East municipality, although satisfaction within health facilities differs. Furthermore, age group, occupation, kind of delivery, delivery outcome, process, and structural-related factors significantly contribute to client satisfaction with delivery services. To provide more comprehensive coverage of customers' satisfaction with delivery services in the municipality, strategies such as free maternal health initiatives and health education on the significance of facility delivery should be reinforced.
