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
Background: Patient satisfaction surveys are pivotal for evaluating healthcare quality. This study aims to validate the Vietnamese national standard outpatient satisfaction tool, assess outpatient satisfaction level, and identify key factors associated with satisfaction across multiple healthcare facilities. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted between October 2024 and September 2025 among 2,500 outpatients at five healthcare facilities. The nationally standardized questionnaire comprised 31 items across five dimensions: Accessibility, Procedures, Facilities, Personnel and Outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Harman's single-factor test was applied to assess common method variance. Results: A total of 2,500 valid responses were analyzed, with 54.0% of participants being female. The mean satisfaction score was 3.87 ± 0.49. The structural model showed a good fit and identified Personnel ( Conclusion: The 2024 national standardized questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing healthcare quality in Vietnam. To improve outpatient experiences, healthcare providers should prioritize enhancing staff communication skills and service accessibility. These findings support the institutionalization of patient-centered metrics to drive sustainable quality management in resource-constrained environments.
