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

purposeThis study explores the complex challenges that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) face. The research highlights the impact of strategic planning, managerial capabilities and financial management on NGOs sustainability. Sustainability is defined to mean durability and continuity of the organization. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Data were collected from 75 NGOs using a survey to examine the roles of strategic planning, financial management, and managerial skills in supporting NGO sustainability.

findingsContrary to initial assumptions, the findings reveal that while strategic planning and strong managerial capabilities are crucial for long-term sustainability, financial management does not show a direct impact. The study suggests that NGOs should focus on developing comprehensive strategic plans and enhancing their managerial capacities to effectively navigate complex environments and achieve their goals. ORIGINALITY: This research contributes to the conversation on NGO management by highlighting the important intersection of resource-based competencies and stakeholder engagement in building resilient and successful organizations.
