Health workforce data needed to minimize inequities associated with health-worker migration.
Article in Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
A persistent challenge with health-worker migration is the inequities it creates. To minimize these inequities, systems of global governance of health-worker migration have arisen which include various global codes of practice, agreements and reporting requirements. Reporting that is rigorous, open and transparent, and subject to scrutiny from the public, researchers, civil society organizations and other interested stakeholders, is important. One element of these codes and agreements with perhaps the greatest potential to deal with the impact of health-worker migration is more robust planning of the health workforce to address the goal of self-sufficiency. Open platforms for data sharing enable engagement of the public and stakeholders with data on the distribution and national origin of health workers, and reveal policy strengths and weaknesses related to health-workforce planning. We explore recent policies directed at reducing the inequities from health-worker migration. While many of the examples used focus on nurses and doctors, the issues discussed are relevant to all cadres of internationally trained health workers.
