General Hospitals with High-Tech Medical Equipment and Patient Experience.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
This study investigates the relationship between the retention of high-tech medical equipment in medical institutions in South Korea and patient experience evaluation outcomes. Data were sourced from the third Patient Experience Assessment conducted by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), a South Korean agency, and HIRA's 2021 data on medical equipment. A total of 320 institutions equipped with CT, MRI, and PET scans or only CT and MRI were analyzed. The dependent variable was the average score across six patient experience dimensions: overall, nurses, doctors, medication and treatment, hospital environment, and guarantee of patient rights. Multiple regression analysis revealed that institutions with CT, MRI, and PET scans scored higher in-patient experience, particularly in the overall dimension (2.15 points), hospital environment (2.22 points), patient rights (1.77 points), and doctors (1.54 points). These findings suggest that high-tech medical equipment positively influences patient satisfaction with care quality. Medical institutions should consider these factors when aiming to enhance patient experience.
