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
introductionPre-operative patient education is a key part of nursing consideration aimed at helping patients to clarify information about their operation, and what happens after surgery, based on patient need, level of knowledge, and patient condition. In every facet of healthcare, patient satisfaction is becoming a bigger priority. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the levels of patient satisfaction toward preoperative education and associated factors among adult elective surgical patients in Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital.
methodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was employed among a total of 440 study subjects selected by a consecutive sampling technique in Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Data were collected by using a pretested structured questionnaire and Data were checked, coded, and entered into Epi data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with the outcome variable. Both crude odds ratios (COR) and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with a 95% confidence level (CI) were computed, and a P-value < 0.05, in the final model, was considered statistically significant.
resultA total of 426 adult elective surgical patients participated in this study with a response rate of 96.8%. This study revealed that 82.2%, 95% CI: (78.2%, 85.7%) of patients had good satisfaction towards preoperative education. In this study, residents in urban areas (AOR = 4.303; 95% CI: 1.487–12.448), pre-operative education about surgery (AOR = 8.620; 95% CI: (3.672–20.235), insurance users (AOR = 6.165; 95% CI: 2.146–17.717), previous surgery (AOR = 15.416; 95% CI: 6.537–36.354), and patients’ duration of illness in days (AOR = 5.326; 95% CI: 1.839–15.430) were all significantly associated with satisfaction toward preoperative education.
conclusionPatient satisfaction with perioperative surgical services was higher than that reported in earlier studies conducted in Ethiopia. Health professionals need to emphasize the rural community, patients with a higher duration of illness, patients with previous surgery, and preoperative fear.
