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
Background: Effective communication between patients and healthcare providers is essential for optimal care outcomes, particularly in the field of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medicine. Our study aimed to explore patient-centered communication approaches in the context of ENT advancements to bridge the knowledge gap between healthcare providers and patients. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and medical record reviews for this cross-sectional observational study. A total of 120 patients and 40 ENT clinicians were included in the study, with data collected over a 1-year period. Demographic characteristics, patient understanding, satisfaction with communication, preferences for receiving information, and themes identified from qualitative interviews were analyzed. Results: The study revealed high levels of patient understanding and satisfaction with communication from ENT providers. Verbal communication was the most preferred method for receiving information, followed by written materials and online resources. Qualitative interviews identified themes emphasizing the importance of clear communication, desire for shared decision-making, and the need for accessible information. The survey among 40 ENT practitioners reveals that 25% utilize multimedia platforms frequently, 50% occasionally, 20% rarely, and 5% never. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this study highlight the importance of patient-centered communication in enhancing patient understanding, satisfaction, and engagement in ENT healthcare speciality. By prioritizing clear communication, shared decision-making, and accessible information, healthcare providers can influence patients to play an active role in their care and improve healthcare outcomes.
