Assessing Patient Rights Awareness and Perceived Healthcare Compliance in Surgical Care: Evidence From Southern Iran.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This multicenter, cross-sectional study aimed to assess patient awareness of their rights and the perceived compliance of healthcare teams with these rights in surgical settings across five hospital systems in southern Iran. A total of 582 surgical inpatients participated, with data collected using two validated scales: the Patient Rights Awareness Questionnaire (PRAQ) and the Healthcare Team Compliance Scale (HTCS). The results revealed that the majority of patients had moderate awareness of their rights, with significant variability across domains. Notably, privacy and confidentiality had the lowest awareness scores. Perceived healthcare team compliance was generally high, but gaps were identified in privacy protection and access to medical records. Key factors influencing awareness and compliance included age, education, type of surgery, and hospital setting. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve patient rights education and healthcare team training, particularly in high-stress emergency settings. Enhancing patient awareness and compliance with patient rights can ultimately improve the quality and transparency of care.
