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
backgroundStrategic planning is a methodical approach to generate fundamental decisions and actions that influence and direct the nature, function, and rationale of the public health sector. However, the existing literature presents mixed findings. This study aims identify potential knowledge gaps and unexplored areas in strategic planning, organizational performance, and its relationship.
methodsThe scoping review was applied following PRISMA guidelines. A descriptive analysis was conducted to summarize key findings from studies focusing on strategic planning, organizational performance, and their relationship within the public health sector. Literature searches were conducted in the Scopus, EBCSO, and PubMed. Then, all retrieved articles, published between January 2015 and May 2024, were systematically reviewed.
resultsThere were 16 studies that met the eligible criteria. Most articles focus on organizational performance in public health sectors followed by strategic planning and the relationship between strategic planning and organizational performance in the public health sector, accordingly. Most Studies showed that evaluation tools, supply chain management, transformative change, and strategic management are deemed for organizational development; and potential factors contributing to organizational performance were mainly human resource-related aspects. A confirmed relationship between strategic planning and organizational performance with mediators was presented.
conclusionWe conclude that strategic planning in public health involves carefully making important decisions and taking actions that define and direct the goals, activities, and purposes of the public health sector, while, it was an antecedence of public health sector performance.
