A study on healthcare supply chain management efficiency: using bootstrap data envelopment analysis.
Article in Health care management science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The aims of this study are to analyze the efficiency of players comprising the healthcare supply chain comparatively, and to investigate the relationship between these different types of efficiency, eventually seeking the way to optimize a healthcare supply chain. To achieve the aims, the players comprising a healthcare supply chain are classified either into manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers based on industry, or into the healthcare system and the non-healthcare system based on the system. The subjects are medical institutions comprising a healthcare supply chain. They have been selected as "The Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25" by Gartner for 5 years in a row from 2012 to 2016. The bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) and correlation analysis are used. The results are as follows. Players with relatively high competitive efficiency (wholesalers and retailers) can achieve high managerial efficiency even if they pay relatively less attention to supply chain efficiency while players with low competitive efficiency (manufacturers and distributors) should focus on supply chain efficiency to maintain managerial efficiency. In the healthcare system, no significant correlation was observed between managerial efficiency, supply chain efficiency and competitive efficiency. However, the analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the managerial efficiency and the competitive efficiency in the non-healthcare system. This study expands the field of the healthcare supply chain management efficiency.
