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: Person-centered care practice has not yet been fully adopted in low- and middle-income nations such as Ethiopia. It focuses on improving several areas of patient-physician interaction. Despite Ethiopia's rapid growth in healthcare facilities, there is insufficient data available on care practices. Method: A facility-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in selected public and private general hospitals in Addis Ababa from May 26 to July 26, 2023. A multistage sampling technique was employed to select the study participants. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire, entered into Epi Info-7, and exported to SPSS version 27 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant factors associated with care practices. Results: A total of 848 patients were involved, with a response rate of 99.5%. The overall magnitude of good care practice was 52.8%, with 34.8% in public hospitals and 70.9% in private hospitals. Factors associated with good care practices in private hospitals included hospital attractiveness (AOR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.6-6.5), ease of access to services (AOR: 12.1; 95% CI: 6.2-23.3), and privacy of access and care (AOR: 10.89; 95% CI: 5.60-21.19). In contrast, factors associated with good healthcare practices in public hospitals were perceived intimacy with the provider (AOR: 8.85; 95% CI: 4.50-17.43), privacy in accessing care (AOR: 12.1; 95% CI: 6.62-22.16), and the provision of medication information (AOR: 4.39; 95% CI: 2.40-8.03). Conclusion: Overall, 52.8% of participants rated person-centered care practices as good, with private hospitals in Addis Ababa (70.9%) demonstrating a higher prevalence of person-centered care practices compared to public hospitals (34.8%). The factors associated with healthcare practices in both public and private hospitals include hospital type, hospital attractiveness, ease of access to services, privacy in accessing care, perceived intimacy with the provider, and the provision of medication information. We recommend targeted improvements in public hospitals to enhance the quality of PCC.
