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
Introduction: The provision of patient-centered care is challenging around the globe, including in Ethiopia. There is a scarcity of information on this issue. Therefore, this study aimed to assess patients' perceptions of patient-centered care and associated factors among patients admitted to public and private hospitals in Bahir Dar city. Methods: A facility-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from May 8-June 15, 2022. Using a multistage sampling approach, the study participants were selected. An interviewer was used to collect the data. Bi-variable and multivariable logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. Statistical significance was declared using a p value< 0.05. Results: Overall, 53.7% of patients reported poor patient-centered care. And it was higher among public hospitals (66.3%) than private hospitals (40.3%). Length of stay (AOR = 4.2; 95% CI [1.1, 15.3] and AOR = 4.3; 95% CI [1.4, 13]), intimacy with providers (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI [1.2, 4.6] and AOR = 3.9; 95% CI [1.1-9.6]), privacy during care (AOR = 4.2; 95% CI [1.93, 8.9]and AOR=3.3;95% CI: [1.5-7]), easy access to service (AOR=2.76;95% CI [1.33, 5.74] and AOR=3.8;95% CI [1.15, 12.7]) were associated with patient-centered care in public and private hospitals respectively. Awareness of the disease (AOR = 2.3; 95% CI [1.12, 4.8]), information on plans of care (AOR = 4.6; 95% CI [1.9, 10]), and being involved in decisions (AOR = 2.7; 95% CI [1.28, 5.9]) were associated factors in private hospitals. The following factors were associated with the practice of patient-centered care only in public hospitals: residence (AOR = 2.9; 95% CI [1.4, 5.5]), medication information (AOR = 2.88; 95% CI [1.34, 6.2]), and external appearance of hospital (AOR = 2.27; 95% CI [1.04, 4.97]). Conclusion: This study showed that the practice of patient-centered care in public hospitals was poor compared to that in private hospitals. Hence, hospitals should train their staff regarding a culture of patient-centered care in order to deliver high-quality and safer care.
