European Union Structural Funds as the Source of Financing Health Care Infrastructure Investments in Poland-A Longitudinal Analysis.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
European Union (EU) structural funds aim at reducing economic and social disparities between the member states regions. The objectives of the study were to (1) provide a summary overview of all health related projects co-financed by EU structural funds in Poland between 2004 and 2020, (2) define the share of projects/funds devoted to infrastructure investments, and (3) assess the total value of EU structural funds' contribution to health care infrastructure investments in comparison to the national public budgets. Data on projects co-financed by EU structural funds covered all projects realized under three financial perspectives: 2004-2006; 2007-2013; 2014-2020. The extraction of "health-related" projects was done according to both the type priority under which the project was realized as well as the type of beneficiary. Results showed that between 2004 and 2020, 14,179 health related projects were implemented, with a total value of 33.2 billion PLN, including EU contribution of 22.8 billion PLN (68.7%). Although projects focused on education and public health prevailed in terms of their total number, infrastructural projects consumed the vast majority of funds. Within the analyzed period, a total of 6,689 health infrastructure projects were implemented with a total value of 29.5 billion PLN, including 19.7 billion PLN of EU contributions. The results confirm that the EU structural funds constituted an important source of infrastructural investments in the Polish health system and majority of them were consumed by investments in public hospitals.
