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

Introduction: Ambulatory surgery is expanding globally due to its clinical, social, and economic benefits, yet postoperative pain remains a major determinant of patient satisfaction and is often inadequately managed. Methods: This prospective questionnaire based observational cohort study at Jordan University Hospital (January-September 2024) evaluated patient satisfaction with ambulatory surgery and its association with postoperative pain control. Adult patients undergoing elective ambulatory procedures with preoperative anesthesia clinic attendance were included ( Results: Overall satisfaction with anesthesia care was reported by 97.6% of the patients. However, dissatisfied patients reported significantly lower overall hospital satisfaction [median 7 (IQR 6-9) vs. 9 (IQR 8-9); Conclusion: These findings underscore the critical role of proactive pain management and high-quality perioperative communication in improving patient satisfaction after ambulatory surgery.
