Article in Health science reports, 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: Patient satisfaction is an important indicator of healthcare quality, particularly in palliative care where patient-centered communication and supportive services are essential. Evidence on patient satisfaction with inpatient palliative care services in Bangladesh remains limited. This study aimed to assess patient-reported satisfaction with inpatient palliative care at a tertiary level hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the inpatient facility of the Department of Palliative Medicine, Bangladesh Medical University, Dhaka, from November 2023 to June 2024. Data were collected at hospital discharge through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire containing the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 instrument. Spearman's rank correlation assessed relationships between satisfaction subdomains, while Mann-Whitney Results: Total of 91 patients participated in the study, of whom 42.9% were male and 57.1% were female. Overall patient satisfaction with inpatient palliative care services was rated as very good. Doctors and nurses received high ratings for their availability, technical competence, and interpersonal skills, whereas comparatively lower ratings were observed for the provision of information. Within the domain of service organization and delivery, very good levels of satisfaction were reported for waiting time, exchange of information among healthcare staff, and the helpfulness of other hospital personnel. In contrast, relatively lower satisfaction scores were noted for accessibility and environmental comfort. Sociodemographic factors including age, marital status, and educational level showed significant associations with patient satisfaction levels. Conclusion: Patients reported a high level of satisfaction with inpatient palliative care services at tertiary hospital in Bangladesh. However, areas such as information provision, communication, accessibility and environmental comfort require further improvement.
