Fair pathways to net-zero healthcare.
Review in Nature medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 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
Over the past decade, it has become clear that the health sector is not only at risk from climate change but also a major polluter of greenhouse gases. In November 2021, the World Health Organization and partners launched the COP26 Health Programme for sustainable, climate-resilient and low-carbon health systems, and have since established the Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health to support its implementation. Given the wide variation in health financing, carbon emissions and unmet health needs across the world, fair sharing of the remaining carbon budget and health gains will be critical. In this Perspective, we explore the challenges and opportunities of healthcare decarbonization, outlining the principles of fair pathways to net-zero healthcare that are attentive to health and socioeconomic inequalities within and between countries.
