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 provision of well-woman services to women is a very good intervention for promoting good health and well-being among women. Despite data needed to inform increasing accessibility to well-woman services, there is limited information about client's satisfaction with well-woman services.
objectiveThis study was conducted to determine factors influencing women's satisfaction with well-woman services at Manhyia Government Hospital.
designAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among women attending the well-woman clinic at the Manhyia Government Hospital, Kumasi from 10 May 2023 to 15 November 2023.
methodsA systematic sampling method was employed. A pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect data on participants' socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, health-facility-related factors, barriers to utilization and client satisfaction. A face-to-face interview was conducted for every woman included in the study. Data were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
resultsOf the 344 women who were recruited for the study, majority (65.7%) of them were satisfied with care at the well-woman clinic. About 59.3% of the women were willing to continue care at the clinic. The age range was 18-60 with mean of 34.6 ± 12.0 years. Some of the challenges the women reported in accessing well-woman services at the clinic included long waiting times (17.7%) and inadequately skilled staff (8.1%). After adjusting for significant variables in the multivariable logistic regression analysis (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)), comfortability of the waiting area (AOR: 7.71, 95% CI: 1.54-38.60), <6 months duration of accessing care (AOR: 8.82, 95% CI: 3.25-23.98) and friendly attitude of health workers (AOR: 27.03, 95% CI: 4.28-170.83) were significantly associated with the client's satisfaction with well-woman services.
conclusionThere was high satisfaction with well-woman services at the clinic, and this was associated with factors such as duration of service, comfortability of the waiting area and the attitude of health workers. Training more skilled staff and expanding the clinic will help improve well-woman services.
