Healthcare system's preparedness to provide cardiovascular and diabetes-specific care in the context of geopolitical crises in Burkina Faso: a trend analysis from 2012 to 2018.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the trends of the availability and readiness of the healthcare system to provide cardiometabolic (cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes) services in Burkina Faso in multiple political and insecurity crises context.
designWe performed a secondary analysis of repeated nationwide cross-sectional studies in Burkina Faso. DATA SOURCE: Four national health facility survey data (using WHO Service Availability and Readiness Assessment (SARA) tool) conducted between 2012 and 2018 were used.
participantsIn 2012, 686 health facilities were surveyed, 766 in 2014, 677 in 2016 and 794 in 2018. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcomes were the availability and readiness services indicators defined according to the SARA manual.
resultsBetween 2012 and 2018, the availability of CVD and diabetes services significantly increased (67.3% to 92.7% for CVD and 42.5% to 54.0% for diabetes). However, the mean readiness index of the healthcare system to manage CVD decreased from 26.8% to 24.1% (p for trend <0.001). This trend was observed mainly at the primary healthcare level (from 26.0% to 21.6%, p<0.001). For diabetes, the readiness index increased (from 35.4% to 41.1%, p for trend=0.07) during 2012-2018. However, during the crisis period (2014-2018), both CVD (27.9% to 24.1%, p<0.001) and diabetes (45.8% to 41.1%, p<0.001) service readiness decreased. At the subnational level, the readiness index for CVD significantly decreased in all regions but predominantly in the Sahel region, which is the main insecure region (from 32.2% to 22.6%, p<0.001).
conclusionIn this first monitoring study, we found a low level and decreased trend of readiness of the healthcare system for delivering cardiometabolic care, particularly during the crisis period and in conflicted regions. Policymakers should pay more attention to the impact of crises on the healthcare system to mitigate the rising burden of cardiometabolic diseases.
