Unconditional cash transfer to reduce the burden of unmet surgical needs.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recent years have seen scandals involving international humanitarian organizations. Short term surgical missions from high to low- and middle-income countries have been criticized as 'parachute' missions. There are significant surgical unmet needs in low- and middle-income countries. Universal health coverage has been underutilized in low- and middle-income countries for surgical conditions. We suggest a two-fold solution: first, restructuring of aid organizations by splitting them into smaller units to make them transparent and responsive to local needs. Secondly, unconditional cash transfer directly to beneficiaries giving them a choice to select physician and hospital for surgical treatment.
