The missing link in Kenya's universal health coverage experiment: a preventive and promotive approach to SRHR.
Article in Sexual and reproductive health matters, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
This paper explores the universal health coverage (UHC) roll-out process in Kenya through the lens of its potential to progressively realise the constitutional promise of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Kenya. We argue that SRHR requires significant attention to be paid to preventive and promotive approaches to health and that this requires interrogation of barriers around access to information, norms, and legal and policy frameworks. We then unpack the UHC process in Kenya, its genesis, development and eventual roll-out, focusing on the essential benefits package and its components. We argue that a process of democratic priority-setting cognisant of equity, non-discrimination and transparency will better deliver on an essential benefits package for access to SRHR that is legitimate and acceptable. As a result, we submit that Kenya's UHC process fails to take cognisance of the weight placed on sexual and reproductive health in our Constitution and fails to address historical inequities around accessing health services.
