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
backgroundNurse practitioners (NPs) have increasingly been employed in acute care hospitals to help reduce shortages in medical staff. However, no data exist regarding the outcomes of hospitalized patients in Taiwan receiving continuous NP care. PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate perceived satisfaction, quality of care, and enablement among patients receiving care from NPs in Taiwan.
methodsA cross-sectional design was used to investigate a sample of adult patients admitted to medical or surgical units in participating hospitals in Taiwan between August 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were invited to complete the study questionnaire during hospitalization. Data on basic institutional and patient characteristics were collected. The modified Patient Enablement and Satisfaction Survey was used to investigate perceived satisfaction, quality of care, and enablement among the participants, and multivariable linear regression was applied to explore the potential factors associated with these three variables.
resultsSeven hundred eight medical and surgical patients from three medical centers and seven regional hospitals across Taiwan participated in this study. Perceived satisfaction with NP care in the sample ranged from satisfied to very satisfied. The regression analysis revealed that ratio of NPs to acute care beds, area of residence, admission route, medical division, and perceived health status were significant predictors of patient satisfaction with NP care ( p <.05); ratio of NPs to acute care beds, acute illness severity, medical division, and self-perceived health status were significant predictors of quality of care ( p <.05); and ratio of NPs to acute care beds, acute illness severity, admission route, medical division, and perceived health status were significant predictors of patient enablement ( p <.05). CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The findings of this study indicate that the general level of satisfaction among medical and surgical patients in Taiwan with NP care is relatively high. Numerous factors were identified as key influencers of perceived satisfaction, quality of care, and enablement among medical and surgical patients. The results of this study provide vital information to help NPs and hospital administrators develop and implement strategies to improve satisfaction, quality of care, and enablement among patients receiving acute care from NPs.
