Multivariate analysis of the effect of health literacy levels on patient satisfaction in patients presenting to the emergency department.

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
In this research, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of health literacy levels on patient satisfaction in patients presenting to the emergency department at a multivariate level. A total of 404 patients who applied to the Emergency Medicine Unit of Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University were subjected to the survey. A survey including a demographic information form, Health Literacy Scale and Emergency Patient Satisfaction Scale was applied as a data collection tool in the study. The general health literacy mean was 50.17 ± 10.73 with a 14.0 to 70.00 range, and the emergency service patient satisfaction level was 73.20 ± 19.64 with an 18.00 to 90.00 range. Total health literacy was positively and significantly correlated with nurse satisfaction (R = 0.221; P < .01), admission staff satisfaction (R = 0.324; P < .01), emergency service environment satisfaction (R = 0.127; P < .05), physician care satisfaction (R = 0.276; P < .01), general patient satisfaction (R = 0.256; P < .01), and total emergency service patient satisfaction (R = 0.227; P < .01). The effect of critical health literacy had significant effect on nurse satisfaction (odds ratio [OR], 0.209; P < .01). Effects of interactive health literacy (OR, 0.064; P < .05) and critical health literacy (OR, 0.121; P < .05) on admission staff satisfaction were significant. The effect of interactive health literacy on the emergency service environment was statistically significant (OR, 0.153; P < .01). Effect of critical health literacy on physician care was significant (OR, 0.254; P < .01). Effects of interactive health literacy (OR, 0.173; P < .05) and critical health literacy (OR, 0.227; P < .05) on general patient satisfaction were significant. Patient satisfaction in emergency services varies not only with internal or environmental factors but also with respect to patients' perceptions. Patients' trust and satisfaction in the health system also positively affect the treatment process and participation in the health system.
