Challenges and opportunities of complexity theory in health care systems.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recent studies of health and complexity have proposed a new definition of health that encompasses the systematic nature of health in order to depict its inherent complexity. The interaction between a clinician and patient has many of the characteristics of a complex adaptive system. The complex nature of primary health care systems, the complexity of real-time data analytics in health care using information systems, and complexity related to the prescription of drugs further reflect the complexity of health care systems. These characteristics indicate that it is necessary to transform health care from an egocentric system to an ecocentric system by using a complex network electronic knowledge research model that provides community engagement in decision making for health improvement and involves adaptive leadership implementing different strategies for solving complex problems. Indeed, it is essential to use a transdisciplinary approach to redesign the health system by developing effective monitoring and evaluation systems inside health systems to ensure patient safety and information transparency, and the effective use of information technology to improve the quality of the services delivered.
