Patient satisfaction of primary care services in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: A scoping review.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Patient satisfaction (PS) is an essential element in evaluating and improving healthcare systems. Few studies have gathered evidence about patient satisfaction with primary care (PC) services in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Therefore, it is important to review the existing literature examining PS with PC services in the GCC countries. This scoping review was conducted for primary data studies published between 2000 to March 2022. Out of 4461 screened articles, 37 met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted in Saudi Arabia and were of cross sectional methodology. PS with primary care in the GCC is affected by multiple provider-related and patient-related factors and users are generally satisfied with the service provided. Future research should focus on the effects of the factors that were not explored and validate the existing results.
