Earthquake Preparedness in Iranian Hospitals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess the preparedness of Iranian hospitals against earthquake.
methodsIn this systematic review, a query was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, Sid, Irandoc, Google scholar, and Magiran databases for articles published between 2000-2019. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square and I2 tests at a confidence interval of 95%. Finally, out of 7458 studies, 10 related articles were analyzed.
resultsAs evidenced by the obtained results, the highest readiness was obtained at 0.709 (95% CI: 0.49-0.88) in "disaster plan", while the lowest readiness was reported at 0.455 (95% CI: 0.23-0.68) in "structural safety". The overall earthquake preparedness of these hospitals was calculated at 0.47 (95% CI: 0.37-0.56).
conclusionThe results of the present study pointed to the moderate level of earthquake preparedness in Iranian hospitals. This finding highlights the necessity of a training plan and implementation of a national program in all hospitals of the country to increase earthquake preparedness.
