Blockchain in Health Care, Evolutionary or Revolutionary - An Evidence-Based Review.
Review in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Blockchain technology has emerged as a disruptive force with the potential to transform various industries, including healthcare. This review paper assesses the current evidence regarding the application of blockchain in healthcare and evaluates whether its integration represents an evolutionary or revolutionary shift in the field. Blockchain offers a decentralized, immutable ledger that ensures secure and transparent record-keeping, addressing critical issues such as data integrity and interoperability. Despite its potential benefits, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, scalability issues, and interoperability remain significant barriers to widespread adoption. This paper examines the implementation of blockchain in five key areas of healthcare: electronic health records, supply chain management, clinical trials, telemedicine, and medical research. Each section discusses findings from relevant studies, highlighting potential benefits and challenges. Overall, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of blockchain on healthcare and to guide future research and implementation efforts.
