Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patient satisfaction is crucial in assessing healthcare quality, encompassing factors such as continuity of care, waiting times, and physician-patient communication. This study evaluated patient satisfaction with healthcare services and determined the main reasons for low self-reported quality. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Al-Baha region, including Saudi adults aged 18 to 60 who visited public or private health centers. Data were collected using a modified patient satisfaction questionnaire. The Chi-square test and logistic regression were utilized. Out of 388 participants, 55.2% were women. Most were highly educated and resided in Al-Baha. Long waiting times (38.4%) and appointment difficulties (25.8%) were the most common drawbacks. Men and Al-Baha residents had higher satisfaction scores. Higher income was linked to better accessibility and convenience scores. Satisfaction was higher among patients at private hospitals. The study provides insights into patient satisfaction in Al-Baha, highlighting the need to reduce waiting times and improve appointment systems to enhance healthcare quality.
