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
backgroundSelf-study and site visit are two main steps of institutional accreditation, but the divergence between the point of view between internal and external evaluators is always considered to be the major challenge to all types of accreditation. In this regard, the aim of this study is to compare the results obtained from self-study and site visit of accreditation standards in teaching hospitals. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive analytical study was conducted using secondary data in 2021. The examined sample included the accreditation documents of five teaching hospitals having performed self-assessment and external evaluation in 2018. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation) and analytical statistics (independent
resultThe results obtained from the comparison of mean in the area of "monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the educational system" showed that there was a significant statistical difference between the results of self-study and those of external evaluation (
conclusionThe findings showed the difference between the results from self-study and external evaluation only in "monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the educational system." The close similarity between the result of internal and external evaluators can be caused by two factors: the clarity of standards and the quantitative nature of hospital accreditation, and the proper training of evaluation teams. Setting the basic criteria for choosing valuable assessors and providing effective training in the field of accreditation can be play an important role in congruency between the results.
