Unified performance evaluation of health centers with integrated model of data envelopment analysis and bargaining game.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 introduces a new integrated approach to measure unified efficiency of the healthcare systems. Health centers as an important part of the healthcare systems are considered for evaluation. For this purpose, we define two categories of inputs to measure performance of health centers based on medical human resources and characteristics of spatial information by using geographic information system (GIS). Catching the balance in the spatial distribution of populations and services is one of the main problems in health centers evaluation. On the other hand, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is widely applied for measuring efficiency of the healthcare systems. But, the conventional DEA models may fail to integrated several categories of measures. In this paper, DEA and bargaining game model are integrated for evaluation of health centers. In other words, two categories of measures are used to measure unified efficiency for each health center in the competitive environment. Two models according to constant return to scale (CRS) and variable return to scale (VRS) assumptions are developed. The case study of health centers under supervising of Tehran university of medical sciences (TMUS) is presented to show the abilities of the proposed approach.
