Addressing Bureaucratic Burdens on the Portuguese National Health Service: A Simplification Experience Aiming for Value-Based Healthcare.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesThe Portuguese NHS has embarked on an administrative restructuring aimed at enabling healthcare professionals, particularly family doctors, to focus on direct patient care and improve overall healthcare outcomes. This article details these measures, their initial benefits for patients and professionals, and explores future strategies to further integrate levels of care and leverage technology to enhance efficiency, patient-centeredness, and ultimately, population health.
methodsEach measure was evaluated to estimate its potential impact on the four pillars of the value-based healthcare (VBHC) framework.
resultsWe found that most measures aimed at reducing bureaucracy had an estimated impact on more than two of the four pillars.
conclusionsThus, we conclude that the reduction in bureaucracy will tend to address several of the pillars of the VBHC framework and should be considered as a steppingstone in the process of increasing VBHC.
