Antecedents to Allied Health Professional (AHP) Workforce Planning and Management in Rural and Coastal Areas: A Scoping Review.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) have a key role to play in addressing well-documented health inequalities in rural and coastal areas, but unequal AHP workforce distribution is a key challenge to them doing so. This systematic scoping review explores available international evidence on the AHP workforce in rural and coastal areas. It aims to map the existing literature and identify the key variables associated with the establishment of a more sustainable workforce. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines a search was carried out in academic databases Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science and Business Source Premier, and policy and grey literature database Overton. 10,494 studies were identified. Following title and abstract screening and full-text review, 49 studies were identified for inclusion. Narrative synthesis identified eight key rural and coastal AHP workforce domains. Four are directly connected to the rural context, and four are related to generic human resource factors, but have distinct and potentially unique implications when considered in the rural context for the attraction and retention of AHPs. Findings are presented as an evidence‑informed framework designed to guide future scholarship and initiatives to improve AHP workforce recruitment and retention in rural and coastal areas.
