Patient satisfaction using handheld ultrasound at emergency department in Jordan University Hospital.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionThe use of portable ultrasound equipment in emergency medicine has shown the capacity to greatly improve patient care in the swiftly changing field. This research evaluates the influence of the Butterfly POCUS device on patient contentment in the Emergency Department at Jordan University Hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of 98 patients to examine their satisfaction levels after undergoing an ultrasound examination. We then evaluated these levels in relation to demographic and clinical characteristics.
resultsSeventy eight percent of the patients expressed a high level of satisfaction with their evaluation. This satisfaction level was consistent across all patient demographics, with no notable differences. Significantly, there was a clear correlation between greater satisfaction levels and higher first pain ratings, indicating that the technology effectively addresses patient concerns and enhances the diagnostic experience.
conclusionThe findings of our study support the wider use of portable ultrasound technology in emergency care settings, emphasizing its ability to greatly enhance patient satisfaction and outcomes. Further investigation should include multicenter trials to authenticate these results and investigate the long-term effects on clinical practice.
