Role of non-governmental organizations in moving toward universal health coverage: A case study in Iran.
Article 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 9 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
Background: Delivering essential health services through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) could facilitate moving toward universal health coverage (UHC), especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study investigates the viewpoints of Iranian health system experts and executive stakeholders on the role of NGOs in moving toward UHC. Method: We conducted 33 semi-structured interviews with health policymakers, NGO representatives at the national and provincial level, and other key informants and analyzed using content analyses methods, using MAXQDA 12. The inductive-deductive approach was used for qualitative data analyses. Result: Based on the thematic analysis of interviews and document reviews, nine main themes and one hundred and five sub-themes were identified. Each theme was categorized based on NGO-, society-, and government-related factors. Conclusion: Recognizing the critical role of NGOs and their contribution in moving toward UHC is essential, particularly in the local context. Collaboration between NGO stakeholders and the government could facilitate moving toward UHC.
