Identification of the factors affecting the referral system of veterans' health services: A scoping review.

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
Referral in the health system is a systematic process for the optimal allocation of resources and improves the access of people in need of treatment services. Considering the vulnerability of the veterans and more medical needs in this group, this study aims to identify the components that affect veterans' health services referral system. MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases, the international military studies website, and key journals in the field of veterans' health services were searched with related keywords including "veteran," "referral system," and "health services" for the period from January 2000 to July 2022. Studies were screened and selected in accordance with the phases of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA) flow diagram 2020. Data extraction was done by two researchers independently and a thematic content analysis method was used to analyze the findings. Among 40,608 studies searched electronically and 16 studies searched manually, 19 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. The research method applied here is a combination of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. The most important findings were extracted from the included studies and analyzed in three general categories: components related to the patient, service provider, and the structural-operational mechanisms of the referral system. The effective performance of the referral system for providing health services to veterans is influenced by the factors affecting components related to the patient, the service provider, and the structural-operational mechanisms of the referral system. Evaluating and improving each of these factors improve the performance of the referral system and provision of health services to veterans.
