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: With rapid economic globalization and cultural exchange, the number of international students in China has been increasing, particularly from Asian countries. Investigating Asian students' satisfaction with medical services in China and identifying key determinants of their health care experiences are critical for improving service quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at one university each in Beijing, Nanning and Baise from January to October 2022. A total of 164 Asian students were recruited through random sampling. Data were collected via an online bilingual (Chinese-English) questionnaire, covering participants' demographic information and medical experiences in both China and their home countries. ANOVA, independent-sample Results: Students in underdeveloped regions (Nanning and Baise) reported significantly lower overall satisfaction scores (7.26 ± 1.48) compared to those in developed region (Beijing: 8.41 ± 1.25). The convenience of registration, impression of hospital services and facilities, convenience of hospital space layout, waiting time for examination, respect of medical staff, listening by medical staff, understanding of medical staff, and timely response to complaints were key factors that influenced the overall experience of Asian students when seeking medical treatment. The overall satisfaction score for medical experiences in China (8.04) was significantly higher than in students' home countries (6.96; Conclusion: Asian international students' medical experiences within China exhibit significant regional disparities. Key determinants of satisfaction-including registration convenience, hospital facilities, staff responsiveness, and complaint resolution-highlight systemic gaps in service quality. Strengthening these areas is essential to support China's role as a global education destination.
