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

In our study aimed at improving the healthcare system for the aging population, we compared healthcare quality evaluations between 96 older individuals and 30 healthcare providers in Split-Dalmatia County (Croatia). Using nonparametric analyses such as the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests on Likert scale questionnaire scores, we found most participants highlighted challenges such as healthcare affordability, long wait times, reliance on private care, poor public transportation, and insufficient rural healthcare services. Healthcare providers rated these quality indicators even more negatively. Both groups rated healthcare for dementia patients notably lower, while emergency response, treatment quality, and hospitalization ease were generally rated positively. The heightened awareness among healthcare providers raises the question: why is there a significant delay between recognizing these problems and implementing effective solutions to address them?
