Public health systems analysis--the transfer of learning between developed and developing countries.
Article in Health care management science, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper explores the role of systems thinking and operational research in furthering our understanding of and our control over complex public health systems. First, it tracks the evolution of our current perception and conceptual modelling of public health systems and the emerging recognition of the need for a whole systems approach. It gives examples of how methods of operational research, particularly those derivative of problem structuring methods, have been used to assist in clarifying the nature of the complexities that surround public health systems, identifying key change agents within public health systems, supporting these agents in making a meaningful contribution, and thereby planning and implementing effective interventions. These examples are drawn from work conducted within the public health systems of both developed and developing countries highlighting the importance of viewing the transfer of 'soft systems' technology as a two-way street with developed nations having (at least) as much to learn from their developing counterparts as they have to teach.
