Mitigation strategies of healthcare centers for dust hazard: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Exposure to dust can disrupt healthcare services and severely affect all activity domains of the health system. This study aimed to present an overview of mitigation strategies taken in healthcare centers during dust storms. A systematic review was conducted in November 2022 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The keywords "Desert Dust," "Sand Storm," "Yellow Dust," "Yellow Sand," "Dust Storm," "Haboob," "Saharan Dust," "Risk," "Risk Management," "Risk Assessment," "Risk Reduction," "Risk Governance," "Risk Evaluation," "Mitigate," "Mitigated," "Mitigates," "Mitigating," "Mitigation*," "Mitigative," "Mitigator*," and "Mitigation strategy" were used in combination with Boolean operators OR and AND. ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Information Database, Islamic World Science Citation Center, Magiran, Cochrane, and Google Scholar search engine were searched. The study was performed based on the PRISMA guidelines. The quality of the articles was assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. A total of 601 documents were extracted and 10 articles including one case-control study, one cross sectional study, and eight retrospective studies that investigated the mitigation strategies taken in healthcare centers when exposed to dust storms were selected for the final analysis. A review of the selected articles showed that the most important mitigation measures by healthcare centers include risk assessment, establishment and improvement of the early warning system, and inter sectoral coordination between private and public sectors. The findings showed that adopting effective strategies and measures to reduce vulnerability to dust storms can help health policymakers and planners contribute to promoting the resilience of healthcare centers so that they can continue providing their services and reduce the economic, social, health, and functional consequences in the affected community.
