Recommendations to facilitate managers' compliance with quality standards at primary health care clinics.
Article in Curationis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe Republic of South Africa (RSA) is shifting towards universal health coverage and a unified health system. This milestone can be achieved through the implementation of National Health Insurance (NHI). To employ NHI, health establishments in the country are compelled to comply with quality standards. The non-compliance with quality standards at primary health care (PHC) clinics within a district in Gauteng, which was verified by quality standards' audit reports, prompted an intervention. No prior research aimed at facilitating managers' compliance with quality standards has been conducted within the context under study. This research gap necessitated an exploration on how managers' compliance to quality standards at PHC clinics within a district in Gauteng could best be facilitated.
objectivesTo describe recommendations to facilitate managers' compliance with quality standards at PHC clinics within a district in Gauteng.
methodA qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was used in this study. Semi-structured, individual interviews were conducted.
resultsThe recommendations to facilitate managers' compliance with quality standards at PHC clinics within a district in Gauteng were described. However, for the purpose of this article, only the recommendations seeking to address challenges with management practices as a reason for non-compliance with quality standards at PHC clinics will be discussed. These recommendations include involvement of PHC clinic managers in decision-making, adequate support from senior management and improvement of internal communication practices.
conclusionThe researcher concludes that the senior management team in the district under study should strive to embrace the described recommendations as a strategy to facilitate managers' compliance to quality standards at PHC clinics.
