Factors Associated with Patient Satisfaction in Older Adults Undergoing Outpatient Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation.
Article in Yonago acta medica, 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
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a leading cause of long-term care needs in Japan; therefore, rehabilitation is essential. Although patient satisfaction is an important indicator of care quality, factors associated with satisfaction among older adults receiving outpatient musculoskeletal rehabilitation remain unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine patient satisfaction and its associated factors in this population. Methods: This observational study included 100 outpatients with MSDs at a community hospital in western Japan (mean age, 77.2 ± 6.1 years). Satisfaction was assessed using the Customer Satisfaction Scale based on Need Satisfaction in health care services (CSSNS), which covers competence, autonomy, relatedness to other participants, relatedness to service providers, and physiological needs. Physical function, psychological factors, personality traits, and environmental factors were also evaluated. Results: The mean total CSSNS score was 54.3 ± 7.5 points. Autonomy exhibited the lowest score, whereas relatedness to service providers demonstrated the highest. Greater satisfaction was significantly associated with longer rehabilitation duration, faster gait speed, older age, higher conscientiousness, and lower pain catastrophizing. Openness and agreeableness were associated with satisfaction in relatedness to service providers. Conclusion: Patient satisfaction was associated with physical factors, psychological factors, personality traits, and environmental factors, supporting individualized and psychologically supportive rehabilitation.
