Introduction of hospital-based health technology assessment in China: experiences from seven pilot hospitals.
Article in International journal of technology assessment in health care, 2024. 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
objectivesThis study aimed to introduce a pilot program for hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) in China and present the participants' experiences based on seven case studies from seven tertiary hospitals.
methodsOne-year pilot projects were initiated at the beginning of 2018. Seven pilot hospitals were closely followed from the beginning until the completion of their pilot HTA project. Regular interviews were conducted with the hospital managers leading the HB-HTA projects and key members of the special HTA teams. Observations were made based on field trips and written HTA reports.
resultsThree pilot projects evaluated the use of medical consumables, three evaluated the use of surgical or medical interventions, and one evaluated an innovative management model for ventilators. Real-world data were collected from all the pilot projects to assist with the assessments. Most HB-HTA pilot projects achieved remarkable results such as improvements in economic efficiency; however, there were also obvious deficiencies such as the lack of a necessary cost-effectiveness analysis.
conclusionsThe results varied among the seven HB-HTA pilot projects. The HB-HTA pilot program was implemented to promote the use of HB-HTA in hospital decision making in China. At the same time, HB-HTA in China faces challenges. We have made some policy recommendations based on the findings of the pilot projects.
