Embedding Systems Engineering Leadership in Learning Health Systems: The Case for a Chief Systems Engineer in Every Hospital.
Article in Learning health systems, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
As healthcare systems transition toward Learning Health Systems (LHS), the need for executive-level leadership in systems thinking becomes urgent. This commentary advocates for the institutionalization of a Chief Systems Engineer (CSE) role in hospitals to embed systems engineering (SE) principles within leadership structures, navigate complexity, integrate technology with clinical workflows, and drive continuous organizational learning. Drawing on lessons from high-reliability industries and existing healthcare initiatives, this commentary argues that establishing dedicated SE leadership is essential for achieving both horizontal and vertical integration across clinical, operational, and strategic domains. It outlines the responsibilities of the CSE, aligns them with LHS goals, and offers recommendations for sustained and scalable implementation across healthcare organizations.
