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

Objective: This study aims to prioritize service attributes related to doctors' online performance based on patients' reviews on online healthcare platforms (OHPs). Method: We propose a three-stage framework based on uncertainty reduction theory. First, perceived service attributes are extracted from review texts through aspect-based sentiment analysis using deep learning models. Second, the impact of these attributes on customer satisfaction and subsequent consultation demand is prioritized using extreme gradient boosting and an econometric model, respectively. Third, the service strengths and weaknesses of individual doctors are evaluated, to provide recommendations for targeted improvements through importance-performance analysis. Results: A dataset of 445,435 reviews involving 49,024 doctors from an OHP were analyzed based on our framework. We find that attributes reducing cognitive uncertainty such as attitude are more influential than those addressing behavioral uncertainty like professional skill or fit uncertainty like overall experience. Conclusion: We built a three-stage framework for mining the perceived service attributes and ranked their priority, which is conducive to doctors' use of patient feedback on OHPs to adjust their service focus and develop strategies to improve service quality.
