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

objectivesHospital-Based Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) is a heterogeneous phenomenon constantly evolving to respond to the needs of decision-makers at the hospital level. In 2023, The HB-HTA Interest Group of Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi) surveyed HB-HTA activities with the aim to provide an updated description of the actual scenario.

methodsAn online survey was conducted to gather data on the main characteristics of hospitals, HB-HTA activities, outputs, role in the decision-making processes, dissemination and training activities, and their interaction and collaboration with other stakeholders and HTA-related regulations. Finally, the survey collected feedback on the perception of and current barriers to HB-HTA. Three categories of responders were identified: Both hospitals performing and not performing HTA and policymakers.

resultsEighty-seven responses were collected from twenty-eight countries. Nearly half of the responders (

conclusionsThe survey highlighted the role of HB-HTA in hospital decision-making supporting the vision of HB-HTA as one of the actors in the HTA ecosystem, the success of which depends on collaboration with other stakeholders.
