1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Solidarity is one of the emerging values in global health ethics, and a few pieces of bioethics literature link it to decoloniality. However, conceptions of solidarity in global health ethics are influenced primarily by Western perspectives, thus suggesting the decolonial needs to include non-Western perspectives. This article explores a decolonial interpretation of solidarity to enrich our understanding of solidarity. It employs a palaver approach, typical of African (Yorùbá) relational culture, in developing a conception of solidarity grounded in a beehive metaphor. Through a decolonial methodological approach, this article posits that a beehive metaphor allegorically symbolises solidarity. In this decolonial interpretive account, solidarity embeds relational virtues and duties that foster harmony. Solidarity is a positively oriented affective disposition with people with whom one shares similar circumstances for harmonious well-being through concerted efforts. This article addresses five potential objections to this account of solidarity in global health ethics and consequently explores what an African account of solidarity means for global health research funding. This article concludes that the palaver decolonial approach from the Global South has implications for expanding conceptual perspectives on solidarity in global health ethics.
