Validation and deepening of factors affecting the establishment of the national incident management system in disasters: a qualitative study based on a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC research notes, 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
backgroundIran’s proneness to disasters and inter-organizational coordination challenges necessitate a robust National Incident Management System (NIMS). This study validated a framework of factors influencing NIMS establishment in Iran.
methodsThis 2025 qualitative study used directed content analysis. Data from 35 semi-structured interviews with disaster management experts were analyzed thematically, building on a prior systematic review.
findingsFour key macro-factors were confirmed and elaborated: ORGANIZATIONAL-MANAGERIAL: Leadership deficits, inter-agency competition, and non-strategic planning. HUMAN-CULTURAL: Ineffective training and a weak public participation culture. POLITICAL-ECONOMIC: Unstable funding, rent-seeking, and management turnover with government changes. TECHNOLOGICAL-INFRASTRUCTURAL: A significant digital divide and lack of integrated communication systems.
conclusionEstablishing NIMS in Iran requires foundational institutional change. Moving beyond technical fixes to address deep-rooted issues in governance, culture, and infrastructure is crucial. This study offers a native framework for policymakers.
