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

Introduction: Multiple factors (patient age, wait time, depression, etc.) have been associated with lower patient satisfaction as assessed by the Press Ganey® Outpatient Medical Practice Survey (PGOMPS). Social deprivation has been shown to impact multiple aspects of patient care but its impact on patient satisfaction in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is limited. Objective: We hypothesized that increased social deprivation would independently predict lower patient satisfaction, as measured by the PGOMPS. Design: Retrospective large cohort study. Setting: Single tertiary academic institution. Patients: Adult patients seen by PM&R physicians practicing outpatient interventional spine and musculoskeletal medicine who completed PGOMPS between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019. Interventions: Independent variables include: Social deprivation as measured by 2015 Area Deprivation Index (ADI), wait time, patient age, and sex. Main outcome measure: Patient satisfaction was defined as receiving a perfect PGOMPS Total Score. Results: A totla of 64,875 patients (mean age 52.7 ± 21.8 years, 41.4% male, mean ADI 29.9 ± 18.8) were included. Univariate analysis showed a decreased odds of achieving satisfaction for each decile increase in ADI (odds ratio 0.965; 95% confidence interval 0.957-0.973; p < 0.001). The most socially deprived quartile was significantly less likely to report satisfaction on PGOMPS compared to the least deprived quartile (91.1 vs 93.2; p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that the odds of achieving satisfaction was 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.980 to 0.997; p = 0.009) for the Total Score, independent of age, wait time, and patient sex for each decile increase in ADI. Conclusions: In this cohort, increased social deprivation independently predicted patient dissatisfaction in PM&R.
