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

objectiveTo analyze the association of physical disability with medical care and health center infrastructure satisfaction among users of medical offices in Peru in 2016.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of secondary data from the 2016 National Health User Satisfaction Survey (ENSUSALUD). The independent variable was self-reported physical disability and the dependent variables were satisfaction with medical care and health facility infrastructure. Sociodemographic variables and variables related to user satisfaction were included as confounding factors. We conducted multiple linear regression analysis and estimated β coefficients with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). The ENSUSALUD 2016 sample design was accounted for in all calculations.

resultsAfter adjusting for confounders, individuals with moderate physical disabilities reported an average of 1.96 fewer points (95%CI=-2.95 to -0.97) in satisfaction with medical care compared to that of those without physical disabilities. Similarly, individuals with moderate and severe physical disabilities reported averages of 1.86 (95%CI=-2.75 to -0.96) and 6.40 (95%CI=-9.58 to -3.22) fewer points, respectively, in satisfaction with the healthcare facility infrastructure compared to those of individuals without physical disabilities.

conclusionIn Peru, people with physical disabilities who use medical offices reported lower satisfaction with medical care and infrastructure of health facilities compared to that of those without physical disabilities.
