Mapping healthcare leadership interventions and their performance in sub-Saharan Africa.
Review in Journal of public health in Africa, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Healthcare leadership development programmes (LDPs) are gaining recognition globally as enablers for competent leadership. Sub-Saharan Africa countries are also implementing healthcare leadership development initiatives. Aim: This scoping review sought to map healthcare leadership interventions and their performance in sub-Saharan Africa. Setting: Sub-Saharan Africa. Method: A search of relevant articles was performed in PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Academia, for articles written in English and published between 2003 and 2023. The Arksey and O'Malley framework was used to map the published studies. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews were used to report the results (PRISMA-ScR). Results: One hundred and ten articles were retrieved. Twenty-eight articles were included in the review. Twenty-one per cent ( Conclusion: Healthcare LDPs exist in sub-Saharan Africa. However, they are marketed as 'healthcare leadership development', while their content is management development. Contribution: This article summarises the research on the state and contributions of the healthcare LDPs in sub-Saharan Africa. Development of all future healthcare LDPs must consider applicable policies and be based on curricula that are focused on healthcare leadership competency development across all functional areas in the healthcare service delivery value chain.
