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

Dental Specialty Centers (CEOs in Portuguese) are health facilities that offer services of medium complexity in oral health, enabling comprehensive care. The objective of this study is to evaluate the sociodemographic and accessibility characteristics that may be associated with the degree of satisfaction of CEO users. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the second cycle of the Program to Improve Access and Quality of CEOs (PMAQ-CEO), available in the public domain on the Ministry of Health website, from 2020. The outcome (satisfaction) was measured by the question "In general, the service you receive in this CEO is?" and Poisson regression analysis was performed using a robust estimator. In total, 10,391 users and 1,042 CEOs were interviewed. More than half of the participants (58.4%) rated the CEO's service as very good, and 38.2% as "good." In the final model, greater satisfaction with the CEO was associated (p<0.05) with White individuals who received more than one minimum wage, who did not reside in the same municipality where the establishment operated, who did not want to change the CEO, and with hours of operation compatible with the demands of users. A high percentage of users were satisfied with Brazilian CEOs' services. By analyzing the literature and data from the previous cycle of the PMAQ-CEO, an improvement in service delivery can be seen, which may have influenced user satisfaction.
