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: The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global health, pervasively affecting the physical and mental wellbeing of individuals worldwide. As the pandemic continues, evaluating patient satisfaction within healthcare has become increasingly critical. This study examines the impact of supportive educational programs on patient satisfaction in COVID-19 wards in Najaf hospitals. Method: A randomized clinical trial involving 60 patients admitted to COVID-19 departments was conducted. The intervention group received a comprehensive supportive educational program upon hospital admission, while the control group received standard care. Participant satisfaction levels were measured using a translated and adapted version of Wolf's Patient Satisfaction Instrument. Analysis was performed on demographic data and satisfaction scores through descriptive statistics and inferential tests using SPSS version 21. Results: The study revealed that the intervention group reported significantly higher satisfaction scores compared to the control group across all measured domains, including professional-technical care, trust, and patient education. These results suggest that supportive educational programs can significantly enhance patient satisfaction during hospitalization for COVID-19. Conclusion: Supportive educational interventions are effective in improving patient satisfaction, which is an important metric for healthcare quality. This study indicates that supplementing standard care with educational and emotional support benefits patients, pointing toward the need for integrated care approaches that address both physical and psychological needs during pandemics. Future research could focus on long-term impacts and explore the potential for virtual implementation of similar programs.
