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

Background: Identifying the essential skills and qualifications for evidence-based managers in healthcare is crucial for decision-makers who aim to select competent managers and design effective training programs. This study reviews the requirements, capabilities, and skills necessary for evidence-based managers in the healthcare sector to accurately utilize and implement evidence. Method: This scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-SCR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. A thorough literature search was carried out using relevant keywords across the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases, with no time restrictions. The selection of articles adhered to predefined inclusion criteria. After eliminating duplicates and reviewing titles, abstracts, and full texts, six articles were included in the final analysis. Results: The study identified several competencies required for effective evidence-based management in healthcare, including professional and technical knowledge, leadership, personal traits and attitudes, communication skills, information management, self-management, critical thinking, research skills, and the ability to apply evidence effectively. Discussion: Given the ongoing transformations in healthcare, including the emergence of new technologies and the generation of extensive data, evidence-based managers must continually enhance their skills to access and evaluate evidence. They should also work on improving both their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. The authors advocate for further applied research to deepen our understanding of the competencies required for evidence-based managers within the healthcare and treatment contexts.
