1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

India's healthcare system is, for a large part, organized around a vast network of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) that form the pillar on which the public healthcare sector functions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the important role that PHCs play in strengthening community health and the provision of healthcare. Although a few studies have assessed specific elements of services offered by PHCs, only a few have studied the patients' perspectives on the functioning and performance of PHCs in the Indian context. A qualitative research methodology was employed to explore the opinions of 188 patients attending one of three PHCs in Bengaluru (India), using in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. Results showed that patients assessed PHC based on the nine themes that broadly can be classified into components of the center, and that of the personnel. The patients valued the behavioural aspects of the personnel during service delivery and should be configured into the PHC performance.
