From Lab to Bedside Testing: Uncovering Gateways and Roadblocks to Syndromic Multiplex Point-of-Care Testing for Infectious Diseases in Canadian Hospitals.
Article in Healthcare management forum, 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
Health leaders must consider various solutions to alleviate the healthcare management burden within Canadian hospitals. Increased access and rapidity of Infectious Diseases (IDs) testing via multiplex Point-of-Care Tests (POCTs) is an example. Twenty-four interviews assessed the facilitators and barriers to implementing such tests in the inpatient hospital setting in Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. The perspective of health leaders, including provincial laboratory officials, medical and laboratory directors, POCT managers, physicians, and nurses, revealed the following major themes as being relevant to the sustainable adoption and implementation of a multiplex POCT for IDs: (1) current diagnostic methods and experience with POCTs; (2) disease burden and level of health system integration affecting a hospital; (3) the management capacity of hospitals; and (4) the anticipated impact on healthcare management efficiency. The study provides structure for health leaders to evaluate and plan for necessary organizational transformation for adopting multiplex POCTs.
