Strengthening and expanding health inequality monitoring for the advancement of health equity: a review of WHO resources and contributions.
Review in International journal for equity in health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
As part of its commitment to advance health equity, the World Health Organization (WHO) has a developed area of work to promote and strengthen health inequality monitoring. This includes an emphasis on the collection, analysis and use of disaggregated health data, which are central to evidence-informed decision making. The aim of this paper is to review WHO's work on health inequality monitoring, namely the 2022-27 Inequality monitoring and analysis strategy and corresponding activities, resources and tools. The strategy has three goals pertaining to: strengthening capacity for health inequality monitoring; generating and disseminating the latest evidence on health inequality and supporting data disaggregation; and developing and refining health inequality monitoring methods, resources and best practices. In alignment with these goals, WHO has published reference materials focused on conceptual approaches to health inequality monitoring, which are applied in the global State of Inequality report series. The Health Inequality Monitoring eLearning channel on OpenWHO and capacity building workshops and webinars facilitate the uptake and application of inequality monitoring practices across diverse settings and stakeholders. A key tool available to support the analysis and reporting aspects of health inequality monitoring is the Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT) application, which allows users to explore data interactively. The Health Inequality Data Repository, a collection of the largest publicly available database of disaggregated data from around the globe, further enables inequality monitoring and analyses. This collection of resources is an important contribution to promote health inequality monitoring across diverse settings. The uptake of evidence from health inequality monitoring remains crucial to the advancement of equity as part of global health and development initiatives.
