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
objectivesTo provide details on patient satisfaction with the Saudi healthcare system and patient characteristics associated with satisfaction levels using nationally representative survey data.
methodsA cross-sectional secondary analysis was conducted using the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia World Health Survey (KSAWHS 2019) data, which collected information on demographics, health status, chronic conditions, and access to and use of healthcare services among Saudi adults aged ≥15 years. Descriptive statistics and logistics regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of satisfaction with Saudi healthcare services.
resultsBetween April and July 2019, 8,912 individuals completed the KSAWHS 2019 individual questionnaire. Out of them 3,929 participants received healthcare services in the last 12 months, were aged ≥15 years, submitted completed records, and were included in this study. The majority of study participants (89.4%) were satisfied with the Saudi healthcare system. Age, marital status, language, health status, presence of chronic conditions, and number of primary healthcare centers per region were significantly and positively associated with patient satisfaction, while gender, type of clinic last visited, and number of hospitals per region were significantly and negatively associated with patient satisfaction.
conclusionPatient satisfaction with healthcare systems is an important assessment metric for overall system performance. Regular measurement of patient satisfaction and characteristics associated with levels of satisfaction can provide meaningful feedback for health policymakers and administrators to develop interventions to improve system performance.
