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

This study evaluates patient satisfaction with dental services provided in public primary care clinics within the Jeddah First Health Cluster, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the second half of 2024 across 7 public dental clinics in Jeddah First Health Cluster, Saudi Arabia. A structured, validated questionnaire assessed satisfaction across key service domains. Convenience sampling was used. A total of 421 patients (aged ≥ 12) participated. Ethical approval was granted, and informed consent was obtained verbally. A total of 421 patients participated, with the majority reporting high overall satisfaction (M = 4.51, SD = 0.45). Loyalty indicators were notably strong: intention to return (M = 4.69, SD = 0.51) and willingness to recommend the clinic (M = 4.54, SD = 0.54). Regression analysis identified meeting patient expectations (β = 0.65,
