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/
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate patient preferences regarding cervical dysplasia clinics. Specifically, preferences in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic pathways as well as logistical and structural aspects were addressed to recognize unmet needs and improve existing structures of cervical dysplasia care. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis questionnaire-based study was conducted between June and December 2022 at an academic medical center in Southwestern Germany. A total of 226 patients who had an appointment at the certified dysplasia clinic were included.
resultsThe vast majority of patients (74.8%) preferred counseling at the certified dysplasia clinic in the case of an abnormal finding of the cervix or labia. A prompt appointment (within a maximum of 4 weeks), a timely notification about test results (within a maximum of 2 weeks), a travel time <60 minutes and seeing the same doctor during follow-up appointments were recognized as important aspects. While about half of the patients (53.5%) were indifferent to the sex of the gynecologist, almost all of the remaining patients stated they would prefer to be seen by a female doctor (44.3% female doctor vs. 2.2% male doctor).
conclusionMost women expect very timely appointments and result notifications. Moreover, they favor short travel times and continuity of care. The identified patient preferences should be considered to increase patient satisfaction and quality of care when developing and optimizing management at specialized dysplasia clinics.
