Impact of joint commission international accreditation on occupational health and patient safety: A systematic review.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTo illuminate the benefits of Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and other experiences related to the accreditation process in relation to occupational health and patient safety.
designSystematic review.
methodsWe systematically searched CINAHL (n = 77), ProQuest (n = 69), PsycINFO (n = 13), PubMed (n = 166), and Scopus (n = 211) for articles on JCI accreditation published until December 2023. Overall, 290 articles were found. JCI-accredited hospitals with before-after accreditation follow-up processes, hospitals during the accreditation process, and job satisfaction and/or patient safety as the primary outcome measures were included. Non-original articles, articles including non-accredited hospitals, hospitals missing before-after accreditation changes, studies with no follow-up time, hospitals implementing accreditation guidelines but not accredited, non-English publications, reviews, meta-analyses, master theses, and poor-quality studies were excluded.
resultsTwo authors independently applied the above criteria, following which 16 articles were analyzed. Two of these, however, were further excluded due to poor quality; 14 articles were finally included. All the articles were extremely heterogeneous, leaving no possibility for a meta-analysis.
conclusionsThe impacts of accreditation are significant in underdeveloped than in developed nations where the legal requirements are high. Concerns regarding costs and workload associated with accreditation processes are increasing. Moreover, studies regarding JCI accreditation and its impact on occupational health or patient safety are limited, thus warranting further investigations.
