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

objectiveCancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and the development of metastatic features. The aim of the study is to examine the patient's satisfaction with the quality of healthcare services provided at the Middle Euphrates Cancer Centre in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Governorate.

methodsCancer patients who visited during 2021-2023 Middle Euphrates Cancer Center in Al-Najaf Al Ashraf Governorate in 2021-2023 were enrolled in the study. In the cross sectional study, enrolled cancer patients were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, cancer patient satisfaction assessment was made based on responses from a 59 items questionnaire.

resultsIn the study period, 400 cancer patients who visited the Middle Euphrates Cancer Center in Al-Najaf Al Ashraf Governorate enrolled in the study. Cancer patient's satisfaction was assessed based on the care provided by physicians, nurses, the infrastructure of the organization, and their socioeconomic status. Under the category of care provided by the physician, the level of assessment reported was low [L] =1-2.33; moderate [M] =2.34-3.66; 2.34-3.66, and high [H] =3.67-5). However, in the case of care provided by nurses, the level of assessment is low ([L] =1-2.33; moderate [M]=2.34-3.66; high [H]=3.67-5.0). The level of assessment (low [L] =1-2.33; moderate [M] = -3.66; high [H]=3.67-5) at the organization level for the services and facilities.

conclusionFindings clearly demonstrate that the participants were dissatisfied with some services provided by doctors, nurses, or organizations. The findings also emphasize the critical need to tailor healthcare services, enhance accessibility, and elevate the overall quality of care to enhance patient satisfaction significantly.
