The learning health system imperative in low-resource contexts.
Article in Learning health systems, 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
Introduction: Learning health system (LHS) development has been described in the highest resource settings, which could suggest that resources are a precondition to LHS formation. Method: We reviewed literature surrounding LHSs in low-resource contexts and used this to inform an argument that LHS activity is critically important in these circumstances. Results: We focus on three key points. First, when resources are scarce, they should not be squandered. Second, local knowledge artifacts have advantages. Finally, LHS emphasis on lasting sociotechnical infrastructure addresses sustainability concerns. Conclusion: We believe LHS formation and activity is more important in low-resource contexts than in their higher resource counterparts. Less path dependence in many low-resource contexts forecasts that LHSs may see their greatest success there.
