Sustainability in quality improvement: measuring impact.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
'Sustainable value' considers patient and population outcomes against environmental, social and economic costs or impacts, providing a framework for driving sustainable improvements in healthcare for current and future generations. Measuring the impact of a quality improvement initiative on sustainable value is a new endeavour. For this to be both meaningful and useful, we must balance academic rigour (using a reproducible methodology to capture the most relevant and important impacts) against pragmatism (working within the constraints of available time and data). Using case studies, we discuss how the different variables of sustainable value may be measured in practice.
