Strategies to Enhance the Utilization of National Health Surveys.
Article in Public health weekly report, 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
Objectives: The Korea National Health Surveys provide important evidence for health policy development and evaluation. Amid healthcare environments and emerging health challenges, there is a growing need to utilize survey findings more efficiently and strategically. This study examines patterns of policy utilization and derives recommendations to strengthen national health surveys as effective surveillance systems. Methods: Policy-use cases for national health surveys in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and other countries were identified from the literature and official policy documents and websites. Cases were classified by policy type (strategies/plans, guidelines, legislation, and programs) and purpose (agenda/background, target and population specification, implementation monitoring, and effect evaluation). Additionally, demand surveys were conducted at the national and regional levels, and the findings were synthesized to develop evidence-based recommendations. Results: We analyzed 84 domestic and 259 international policy-use cases. Legislation was the most frequent policy type in both the ROK and other countries. In the ROK, policy use was primarily concentrated in implementation monitoring. Demand surveys indicated a high level of policy contributions and highlighted the need for more timely indicators, disaggregated outputs, and stronger visualization and platform functions. Conclusions: Expanding policy utilization requires strengthening survey systems, building infrastructure for data linkage, automation, and informatization, and reinforcing legal/institutional support as well as interagency collaboration. In addition, systematic management and public reporting of survey-based policy achievements, along with continued reflection of field needs, are essential to establish an effective feedback mechanism.
