Patient Satisfaction in the Headache Care at the Veterans Health Administration Headache Centers of Excellence: A Cross-Sectional Study.
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 cross-sectional study compared patient satisfaction with headache care in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Headache Centers of Excellence (HCoE) and HCoE facilities versus traditional headache care. Using the VHA Survey of Healthcare Experiences of Patients specialty care survey, we analyzed responses from 4317 (14% response rate) veterans with a VHA headache visit who received care from (1) a Veterans Affairs (VA) HCoE provider; (2) a non-HCoE provider within a VA medical center containing an HCoE; or (3) a provider in a VA medical center without an HCoE. Compared to patients at non-HCoE facilities, both HCoE patients and HCoE facility patients reported higher overall satisfaction with their VHA care in general (OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.05-1.64; OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.38-1.54), respectively. Despite a modest response rate, HCoE and HCoE facility patients reported significantly higher satisfaction across other domains including access and communication, in models adjusting for demographics. These findings advance the conversation regarding the value of HCoEs in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care and expanding HCoE resources may improve satisfaction. Future research should formally investigate methods of improving satisfaction.
