Leadership in the health professions in the Philippines: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionResearch indicates that leadership in the health professions can facilitate improvement of quality and efficiency of healthcare services. In the Philippines, leadership in the health professions plays a critical role in driving improvements in healthcare delivery and health professions education. Thus, the landscape of leadership in the health professions merits continuous exploration and deeper understanding. This scoping review aims to explore the landscape of leadership in the health professions in the Philippines. The scoping review will include published and unpublished research papers of any kind, such as primary research studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, letters, guidelines, websites, blogs and grey literature that report about leadership in the health professions in the Philippines. Exclusions are leadership studies on the health professions that discuss the professions outside the scope and context of the practice. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodological framework for scoping review will be used in this review. A three-step search strategy will be used consisting of an initial search, full search and screening of reference lists. The databases that will be included are Cinahl Ultimate, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Emcare, Web of Science, JBI Evidence-based Practice Database, PubMed/Medline, ERIC, local journals and grey literature to determine pertinent sources about the topic. Sources searched will be screened by two independent reviewers and data will be extracted using a data extraction table. Disagreements will be resolved by a discussion through a third reviewer. The results of the search and the study inclusion process will be reported in full in the final scoping review and presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review flow diagram. Search strategy using the included databases started in August to September 2025, data extraction will start by October 2025, data analysis will start by November 2025 and the review is expected to be completed by December 2025. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study does not involve human participants and has been reviewed and classified for exempted review by the University of the Philippines Manila Research Ethics Board, which is a committee whose task is to make sure that research participants are protected from harm. The findings of the scoping review will be disseminated through conference presentations and publication in a scientific journal.
