Contributions of accreditation organizations in health services to the accreditation process: a bibliometric analysis.
Article in Journal of health organization and management, 2026. 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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the concept of accreditation in terms of Accreditation Bodies in Health (ABIH) through a bibliometric analysis. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Co-citation, co-occurrence and co-authorship analyses were performed on 465 academic publications selected from the Web of Science database focusing on health accreditation bodies. The analyses were conducted using R-based Bibliometrix software, Python and Microsoft Excel.
findingsThe co-citation analysis identified seven themes: "Prevention of Clinical Errors and Patient Safety: Guidelines for Accreditation Bodies," "Accreditation and Multidimensional Impacts on Healthcare Quality," "Multidimensional Assessment of Hospital Quality in the United States: Standardization, Regulation, and Accreditation," "Quality Assessment in Health Care: Theoretical Foundations and Personnel Management," "The Complex Dynamics of Accreditation in Health Care: Analyzing Quality, Cost, and Performance," "Quality and Performance Measurement in Health Care," and "Accreditation and Pain Management." Co-occurrence analyses revealed themes such as "Clinical Safety and Child Health," "Beliefs and Ethical Issues," "Patient Safety and System Errors," "Guidelines and Risk Management," "Quality and Performance Management," and "Clinical Practice and Health Services." PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The findings highlight the complexity of thematic categories and key issues in the literature on the contribution of accreditation bodies to the accreditation process in healthcare, which can inform policymakers and practitioners. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of accreditation bodies in health, offering valuable insights into thematic clusters and contributing to the existing body of knowledge on healthcare accreditation.
