Efficiency Analysis of Syrian Refugees' Healthcare Services in Turkey and Other 3RP States.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Access to healthcare for refugees is often contextually and conceptually diverse. This study set out to evaluate the efficiency of the healthcare services provided for Syrian refugees in Turkey and other refugee response and resilience plan (3RP) states. Data envelopment analysis is utilized for efficiency analysis using primary healthcare system indicators. Efficiency is broken down into pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency to identify causes of inefficiency. Normative analysis is used to employ a teleological approach to better understand current refugee healthcare policies. The findings show a decline in the overall efficiency for Turkey and other 3RP states. However, Turkey's operational practices could be a model for other 3RP states due to its relatively high pure technical efficiency. Scale inefficiency negatively impacts the overall efficiency of Turkey's service, while other 3RP states exhibit a rather consistent performance. The study concludes that Turkey's healthcare system for refugees is inefficient, resulting in inadequate access for Syrian refugees. As such, operational and scale efficiency must be synergized for Turkey to fulfill its obligation to provide adequate healthcare for Syrian refugees. Additionally, COVID-19 was found to have exacerbated the challenges Syrian refugees face accessing healthcare. Policy recommendations have been made in line with the findings of the study.
