Patient satisfaction in outdoor department of primary health care facilities in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPerception of patients on healthcare services is important in evaluating the quality of a healthcare structure. Focusing on a major humanitarian emergency in South-East Asia, this research aims to explore patient satisfaction regarding primary health care in Rohingya refugee camps placed in Bangladesh.
methodsWe conducted this cross-sectional study during November 2023 - March 2024 in five randomly selected primary health care centers in five different Rohingya refugee camps of Bangladesh. Upon selection by systematic random sampling method, 810 outdoor patients were interviewed in-person by trained data collectors. We utilized a structured questionnaire based on the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ‑18) of Marshall and Hays. We analyzed completed response of 723 patients by IBM SPSS (v. 27) checking normality and internal consistency. Mean, standard deviation and percentage were generated for all dimensions of patient satisfaction including all PSQ-18 items. Finally, we used Kruskal-Wallis test and multivariate linear regression to explore differences and associations between patient characteristics and different dimensions of patient satisfaction.
resultsWith major responses from 18-39 years (68.7%), female (81.1%) and Rohingya ethnicity (96.8%), overall satisfaction was found among nearly 90% patients. Domain of interpersonal manner received highest satisfaction (95.93%) whereas the lowest was observed in accessibility and convenience (84.50%) with minor variability across different satisfaction dimensions. Ethnicity, key source of household income, type of visit and perception of type to illness were found as significant predictors in most satisfaction domains (p < 0.05).
conclusionsWe concluded this study with high satisfaction in outpatient care of Rohingya camps. Therefore, focused interventions should be adopted by policymakers for maintaining the high content in patients with additional attention in domains of less patient satisfaction. Extended and periodic evaluation of patient satisfaction should be conducted for upgrading the health system of Rohingya humanitarian emergency in a patient-centric approach.
