Opportunities and Challenges for Regional Coordination of Infectious Disease Control Comment on "Operationalising Regional Cooperation for Infectious Disease Control: A Scoping Review of Regional Disease Control Bodies and Networks".
Article in International journal of health policy and management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This commentary cites a scoping review by Durrance-Bagale et al (2021) on how regional bodies have approached infectious disease control to determine if those lessons could be applied to assist the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The author's work is timely and highlights the importance of recognizing and understanding regional context, governance and operational structures to then design effective regional networks. Most factors highlighted as enablers and constraints are quite expected, including stakeholder mapping, a clear mission space with goals and objectives, outreach and advocacy to receive buy-in, political will and sustainable funding. We suggest below that there is an opportunity for further systematic and operational research of enablers and constraints for regional infectious disease control bodies, one that expands on infectious disease control while also continuing to take into account governance, legislative and organizational factors, and strongly emphasizes the development and application of clear metrics to create better measures of impact.
