Voices from the Frontline: Healthcare Workers' Perspectives on Government Health Reforms in Iran.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe healthcare system is a crucial indicator of government performance, especially in developing countries like the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has seen significant reforms in recent decades. This study explores healthcare workers' perceptions of recent government health policies.
methodsThis study was conducted as a national survey. An anonymous questionnaire containing 22 key challenges facing the healthcare sector was distributed via social media to healthcare employees. The aim was to gather insights on the challenges confronting Iran's healthcare system. After collecting the responses, we evaluated and analyzed the data.
resultsOver one week, we received responses from 805 healthcare workers. The findings revealed that the following issues were considered as the most important priorities across various categories: the healthcare system's entitlement from the gross national product; addressing the problems of doctors, including their income; preventing migration; combating non-scientific health practices; the challenges of medical education for future healthcare providers (such as reduced career hopes, desires to emigrate, drug use, and mental health issues like suicide); and tackling corruption in the country's pharmaceutical market.
conclusionThe most significant challenges identified were economic issues and the medical education process, from admission to graduation. Notably, as people's ages increased, the scores related to economic challenges and job burnout also rose.
