1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe growing trend of induced demand for medicine negatively impacts health system performance and imposes significant financial burdens on both individuals and society. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the management of induced demand for medicine in Iranian hospitals.

resultsThis applied qualitative research, using grounded theory, achieved data saturation after interviewing 20 experts. Key factors creating induced demand were identified as social, structural-organizational, economic, and stakeholder factors. Effective management strategies include planning, organizing, monitoring, and securing financial resources. These findings underscore the importance of payment system reform and enhanced physician education.
