1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundUN Sustainable Development Goals are part of the political agenda of most developed countries. Being a developing country, Albania has only recently adhered to this trend. Prior research at national level has sporadically focused on environmental sustainability, neglecting a holistic view of the phenomenon. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore preventing and developmental factors of sustainability in healthcare organisations from the perspective of decision makers by relying to a Triple Bottom Line approach.

methodsData were collected through a questionnaire administered to healthcare facilities and analysed through the Exploratory Factor Analysis. Findings revealed that the factors influencing the sustainability of the national healthcare system were five: Barriers of Organisational Sustainability; Stakeholders Pressure (regarding sustainable issues); Awareness (knowledge and measures taken for sustainability); Institutional Engagement; and Personal Interest and Involvement. The underlying factors included 19 items suitable for this sample, representing 64.371% of the total variance.

resultsThe findings show the existence of 4 factors: Barriers of Organisational Sustainability, Stakeholders Pressure regarding Sustainable issues, Awareness/knowledge and measures taken for sustainability, Personal Interest and Involvement.

conclusionsIt is evident that national health organisations should continuously improve its strategies to be consistent with the sustainable development goals of international organisations, so that their initiatives could reflect the integration of sustainability approaches at the organisational level.
