Physician perspectives on the implications of the diagnosis-related groups for medical practice in Turkey: A qualitative study.
Article in The International journal of health planning and management, 2022. 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
Hospital reimbursement models might have unintended consequences for medical practice. In Turkey, a mixed reimbursement scheme, based on the diagnosis-related group (DRG) model and global budget, was gradually introduced as part of the country's 2003 healthcare reforms. This article examines the impacts of the DRG model on medical practice in Turkey, as perceived by physicians working in public and private hospitals. This study draws on an analysis of 14 interviews with physicians. The findings reveal that the implementation of the DRG has transformed medical practice into a process of cost-benefit optimisation which involves balancing the income and expenses of hospitals against patients' medical needs. To mitigate the negative effects of the DRG, the current model may need to be reformed, particularly to grant exemptions from the standard reimbursement structure for patients who are experiencing complications and/or multiple health conditions.
