Learning Health Systems, Equity, and Bounded Justice: A Critical Scoping Review.
Article in Learning health systems, 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
Introduction: The science of learning health systems (LHSs) has expanded to include equity aims. However, efforts toward this end are nascent. The purpose of this study was to critically examine how equity has been discussed in LHS literature. Methods: We conducted a critical scoping review informed by the bounded justice concept. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL Complete (Ebsco) databases were searched to identify relevant literature from inception to June 2024. We used qualitative descriptive analysis for detailed extraction and to identify patterns across equity conceptions in the literature. Results: The search strategy generated 420 articles. Forty articles met the selection criteria. Our analysis generated four interrelated themes: (1) Conclusions: LHS equity science is emerging, though it still privileges narrow, Westernized approaches. It is imperative that future work more deeply engages health justice traditions to inform LHS theory, research, and practice.
