Factors Affecting the Functional Preparedness of Hospitals in Response to Disasters: A Systematic Review.
Review in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Objective: This study aimed to comprehensively determine the factors that affect the hospitals' functional preparedness in response to disasters. Methods: A systematic review of studies published in English and Persian up to the end of 2022 was performed by searching PubMed Central, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, SID, and Elmnet databases. Articles that assessed hospitals' functional preparedness were searched by using a combination of medical subject heading terms and keywords including disaster, emergency, preparedness, hospital preparedness, health care facilities preparedness, hospital functional preparedness, health care facilities functional preparedness, readiness, and effective factors. Additionally, journals and gray literature were manually searched. Two independent reviewers screened the eligible papers. The inclusion criteria were the full text should be published up to the end of 2022, in both Persian and English, and focus on hospital preparedness. The extracted data were manually analyzed, summarized, and reported using the content analysis method. Results: Of the 3465 articles, 105 studies were eventually included in the final analysis. Eighty-two influential factors were identified and classified into seven categories: government, coordination, control, and commanding (7 factors), existing guidelines and preparedness plans (12 factors), regulations (6 factors), supplying of resources (37 factors), education and training (8 factors), multi-layered information management and communication systems (8 factors), and contextual factors (4 factors). Conclusion: There are different dimensions of hospital preparedness for disasters, each of which is influenced by several independent factors. Addressing these factors will enhance the actual functional preparedness of hospitals encountering disasters.
