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
Background and Aims: In developing countries, the impact of Community-based health insurance on patient satisfaction has not well assessed. This study aimed to assess the impact of community-based health insurance on patient satisfaction with outpatient services at Debresina Primary Hospital, North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. Method: A facility-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2023 at Debresina Primary Hospital. Data were collected from 538 (282 CBHI members and 256 non-members) selected patients attending outpatient care using systematic random sampling. Data were entered into Epi-Info version 7.2 and analyzed using STATA version 17. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of patient satisfaction. A propensity score matching model was used to determine the impact of community-based health insurance on patient satisfaction by reducing selection bias and enhancing group comparability. Result: A total of 538 (282 insured and 256 non-insured) patients were enrolled in the study. Half of the study participants were satisfied with the outpatient care and among those satisfied, 56.4% were insured and 42.2% were non-insured respondents. Insured patients (AOR = 2.1; 95% CI = 1.38-3.1), married patients (AOR = 2.13; 95% CI = 1.1-4.16), and patients who visited the hospital five or more times per year (AOR = 1.67; 95% CI = 1.04-2.68) were more likely to be satisfied with outpatient services. A community-based health insurance scheme raises patients' satisfaction with outpatient care by 18% (ATT = 0.175, Conclusion: The community-based health insurance scheme has a favorable impact on patient satisfaction with outpatient services. Expanding coverage will significantly contribute to improving patient satisfaction and healthcare experiences, ultimately helping Ethiopia achieve universal health coverage.
