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.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess patients' satisfaction regarding anaesthetic care at our tertiary care center and to evaluate the common reasons for dissatisfaction. Methodology: This cross-sectional survey was conducted for a period of seven months from 1 Results: The duration of study was seven months included responses from 378 patients. The results were divided into satisfaction regarding preoperative (SA), intraoperative (SB), post operative (SC) care and overall satisfaction (SO). The mean age of patients was 40.6 years. The majority were females who required general surgical procedures, had preoperative workup at anaesthesia clinic and were labeled as ASA-II. Most of them had general anaesthesia. Patients' satisfaction at SA, SB, and SC was 92.7%, 97%, 94.5% respectively. Two major factors contributed to dissatisfaction were process of taking informed consent (6.4%), and explanation of possible risks and complications (10.4%) associated with anaesthetic care. The commonly reported adverse events in the postoperative period were pain (60%), nausea and vomiting (39.4%), sore throat (24.6%), somnolence (23%), limitations in movement (23.5%) and shivering (15.1%). Amongst them, shivering was the greatest reason for dissatisfaction (14%). Overall, 3.6% of patients were dissatisfied with the anaesthesia care. Conclusion: Overall, patients' satisfaction at mentioned intervals was high. The factors associated with dissatisfaction were insufficient counselling about consent, risks, complications and postoperative shivering related to anaesthesia.
