Integrating socially accountable health professional education and learning health systems to transform community health and health systems.
Article in Learning health systems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
A learning health system aims to create value in health systems using data-driven innovations, quality improvement techniques, and collaborations between health system partners. Although the concept is mobilized through cycles of learning, most instantiations of the learning health system overlook the importance of formalized learning in educational settings. Social accountability in health professional education focuses on measurably improving people's health and health care, specifically through education and training activities. In this commentary, we argue that the idea of social accountability clearly articulates a rationale and a broad range of aspirations, whereas the learning health system offers an approach to achieve these goals. With a similar aim to a learning health system, social accountability promotes partnerships between health professional education, the health system, and communities in a way that allows for co-designed and contextualized interventions. On the other hand, learning health systems prioritize data, research, and analytic capacities to facilitate quality improvement. An integrative framework could enhance learning cycles by collectively designing interventions and innovations with people and communities from health, research, and education systems. As well as aspiring to improve population health and health equity, such a framework will consider broader impacts, including the degree of participation amongst a range of partners and the level of responsiveness to partners' priorities.
