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
backgroundThis paper analyses why, despite its recognized importance, value-based healthcare (VBHC) has not gained more prominence in negotiations between health insurers and hospitals in the Netherlands.
methodsData collected by interviews used a standardized questionnaire with closed- and open-ended questions. Respondents included hospital and insurer executives, and experts on VBHC in the Netherlands.
resultsHospital and insurer executives addressed issues of cost containment, volume management, and care availability. Despite recognising the potential of VBHC to enhance patient outcomes and experiences, reluctance persists due to uncertainties about cost-savings, its complexity, lack of data, and competing priorities. Hospital executives advocated experiments with VBHC, trust-building, and continuous evaluation, with strategies to standardise measures, enhance information technology (IT) infrastructure, promote data transparency, foster collaboration, and educate stakeholders. Participants also underlined the need for systemic change and governmental action.
conclusionsNegotiations mostly focus on cost containment and volume management. This reflects a systemic emphasis on immediate financial concerns over long-term value creation. The hesitancy in transitioning to VBHC underscores the need for collaborative strategies and systemic shifts to prioritise patient-centric care. External factors such as fee-for-service payment systems further complicate VBHC adoption, requiring governmental intervention and cultural transformation to align incentives and promote sustainable healthcare practices.
