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

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a patient-reported questionnaire to assess service utilization and patient satisfaction among older adults with hypertension and diabetes in primary health-care centers operating under China's National Essential Public Health Service Program (NEPHSP). Methods: The questionnaire's item pool was constructed on the basis of a logic model. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in three provinces of mainland China between November and December 2019. The questionnaire was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficients and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to refine items and assess internal consistency, construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Results: The final questionnaire adopted a second-order factor model comprising three domains: essential services for all older adults, follow-up services for older adults with hypertension or diabetes, and patient satisfaction assessment. Through a two-step refinement process, nine factors encompassing 29 items were selected, including elements such as "health records and health education," "blood pressure/glucose monitoring," and "health education in follow-up." Cronbach's alpha coefficients indicated excellent reliability, with values of 0.899 and 0.906. The 29-item instrument had robust model fit for both hypertension and diabetes cohorts. The fit indices for the hypertension model included a Bollen-Stine bootstrap chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio (χ Conclusion: A valid and reliable questionnaire for evaluating service utilization and patient satisfaction among older adults with hypertension and diabetes in primary health-care center was developed in China. This instrument will serve as a practical tool for patient-reported assessments within the NEPHSP framework at primary health-care centers.
