Inclusion of Children's Surgery in National Surgical Plans and Child Health Programmes: the need and roadmap from Global Initiative for Children's Surgery.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
About 1.7 billion children and adolescents, mostly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack access to surgical care. While some of these countries have developed surgical plans and others are in the process of developing theirs, children's surgery has not received the much-needed specific emphasis and focus in these plans. With the significant burden of children's surgical conditions especially in low- and middle-income countries, universal health coverage and the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) will not be achieved without deliberate efforts to scale up access to children's surgical care. Inclusion of children's surgery in National Surgical Obstetric and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPs) can be done using the Global Initiative for Children's Surgery (GICS)-modified Children's Surgical Assessment Tool (CSAT) tool for baseline assessment and the Optimal Resources for Children Surgical Care (OReCS) as a foundational tool for implementation.
