How has sustainable development goals declaration influenced health financing reforms for universal health coverage at the country level? A scoping review of literature.
Article in Globalization and health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundAchieving universal health coverage (UHC) requires health financing reforms (HFR) in many of the countries. HFR are inherently political. The sustainable development goals (SDG) declaration provides a global political commitment context that can influence HFR for UHC at national level. However, how the declaration has influenced HFR discourse at the national level and how ministries of health and other stakeholders are using the declaration to influence reforms towards UHC have not been explored. This review was conducted to provide information and lessons on how SDG declaration can influence health financing reforms for UHC based on countries experiences.
methodsWe conducted a rapid review of literature and followed the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guideline. We conducted a comprehensive electronic search on Ovid Medline, PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science. In searching the electronic databases, we combined various conceptual terms for "sustainable development goals" and "health financing" using Boolean operators. In addition, we conducted manual searched using google scholar.
resultsTwelve articles satisfied our eligibility criteria. The included articles were analyzed thematically, and the results presented narratively. The SDG declaration has provided an enabling environment for putting in place necessary legislations, reforming health financing organization, and revisions of national health polices to align to the country's commitment on UHC. However, there is limited information on the process; how health ministries and other stakeholders have used SDG declaration to advocate, lobby, and engage various constituencies to support HFR for UHC.
conclusionThe SDG declaration can be a catalyst for health financing reform, providing reference for necessary legislations and policies for financing UHC. However, to facilitate better cross-country learning on how SDG declaration catalyzes HFR for UHC there, is need to examine the processes of how stakeholders have used the declaration as window of opportunity to accelerate reforms.
