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

Over the past decade, the health sector of Saudi Arabia has been undergoing a major transformation. This pilot research aimed to improve the patient experience (PX) at discharge by at least 2 scores within 2 years at a King Abdul Aziz Armed Forces Hospital (KAAB-AFH), Dhahran, in Saudi Arabia. The project was planned, executed, monitored, and closed through five Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles from Q2 2019 to Q2 2023. Discharge planning Include, Discuss, Educate, Assess, and Listen model, Teach Back technique, and Re-Engineered Discharge model, and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool were used. The mean PX score at discharge improved from 86.80 (SD ±1.89) to 89.72 (SD ±1.77) (
