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
backgroundIntegrating Corporate Social Responsibility with Sustainable Development Goals is an opportunity to enhance sustainability in the health sector. However, its implementation faces challenges related to governance, the involvement of key participants, and resource allocation.
methodsThis qualitative study analyses how health institutions in Catalonia are incorporating Corporate Social Responsibility focused on Sustainable Development Goals. Ten professionals from five institutions of the Comprehensive Public Health System in Catalonia participated in semi-structured interviews. Atlas.ti was used for thematic analysis.
resultsOur findings underscore the critical role of institutional leadership, the establishment of participatory governance structures, and the implementation of strategic plans aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals as key drivers for the successful adoption of sustainability policies. Moreover, the study highlights the significance of effective internal communication and staff coaching in fostering and consolidating a sustainable organisational culture. Nevertheless, barriers such as lack of resources, resistance to organisational change, and the absence of clear evaluation and accountability mechanisms were explicitly identified in some institutions.
conclusionTo reinforce Corporate Social Responsibility in the health sector, this study recommends consolidating inter-institutional collaboration, improving strategic planning through sustainability indicators, and encouraging active participation of all parties involved. Effective integration of Sustainable Development Goals in health management requires surmounting structural barriers and instituting committed leadership to drive change and achieve a more sustainable organisation. By embracing sustainable practices, healthcare organisations can become leading agents of social, economic, and environmental transformation.
