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
Introduction: Patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction are critical indicator of healthcare quality. This study assessed satisfaction levels and identified factors associated with outpatient dissatisfaction among adult outpatient attendees in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: A multicenter, institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in August 2023 among 421 outpatients. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire, processed in EpiData, and analyzed via SPSS version 27. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with patient dissatisfaction. Results: A total of 421 patients participated, with an overall satisfaction was 67% (95% CI [62.5, 71.5%]). Patients with repeated visits for the second (adjusted odds ratio ( Conclusion: Patient satisfaction was sub-optimal. Outpatient dissatisfaction was strongly associated with first-time visits, structural limitations in procedure availability, unclean waiting environments, and poor interpersonal interactions. Strengthening nurses' roles in patient communication and coordination represents a vital pathway to mitigate dissatisfaction and optimize healthcare quality.
