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

Regionalized health systems provide a coordinated chain of services for a specific population. The development of regionalized systems not only means the establishment of regionalized centers providing health services, but also consideration of several structural dimensions. The present study aimed to identify the dimensions of developing a regionalized health system. The study employed a scoping review method using Joanna Briggs Institute's (2015) protocol in 2022. A total of 2128 related articles were identified from ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases from 2002 to 2022. Finally, 26 articles and documents met the study criteria to enter the review process for thematic content analysis, and extracted the structural dimensions for developing health system regionalization. The results of the analysis revealed health system regionalization's structural dimensions categorized into seven main themes including contextual, financial/economic, managerial, organizational, legal and procedural, service provision, capacities and strategies in the health system; as well as 85 subthemes. Development and implementation of health system regionalization require several essential structural dimensions to be taken into consideration to enhance and facilitate system regionalization process.
