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

objectiveThe aim of this research is to identify the main determinants of patients' confidence/trust in the emergency department (ED), the effects of these determinants on confidence/trust in the ED and potential mediators in this regard.

resultsThrough satisfaction, the effect of doctors, perceived waiting time for triage, information about possible delays in receiving treatment or waiting times, and meeting expectations lead to confidence/trust in the ED by 66%, 61%, 61%, and 61% of the variation, while through perceived quality of healthcare (PQHC), the effect of privacy, doctors, accessibility and availability, perceived waiting time to be called back by the doctor after the examinations and/or tests, and meeting expectations lead to confidence/trust in the ED by 64%, 64%, 65%, 63%, and 65% of the variation, with statistically significant results (p < 0.01).
