The technical efficiency of hospitals under a single payer system: the case of Ontario community hospitals.
Article in Health care management science, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Using DEA, we investigated the impact of ownership, size, and location on the relative technical efficiency of community hospitals in Ontario, which has a single payer system. Consistent with Hansmann's theory of non-profit organizations and contrary to US-based research, we find no significant differences in efficiency across ownership types (government, religious or secular non-profit). Nor do we find significant differences in efficiency by size or location. Our findings suggest that model formulation and differences in payer mix across types of hospitals in the US have a strong influence on the measurement of the hospital ownership-efficiency relationship.
