A Global Index to Quantify Discrimination Resulting from COVID-19 Pandemic Response Policies.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
Immediately following the emergency use authorizations of COVID-19 vaccines, governments around the world made these products available to their populations and later started implementing differential rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens regarding mobility and access to venues and services. The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) is a time series database that reflects the extent of public health measures in each country. On the basis of the OxCGRT Containment and Health Index, we calculated a corresponding discrimination index by subtracting the daily index values for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. The resulting metric provides a cursory quantification of the discrimination experienced by unvaccinated individuals throughout 2021 and 2022. Patterns in the index data show a high degree of discrimination with great numeric and temporal differences between jurisdictions. Around 90% of countries in Europe and North and South America discriminated against their unvaccinated citizens at some point during the pandemic. The least amount of discrimination was found for countries in Central America and Africa. In order to move towards sustainable post-pandemic recovery and prevent discriminatory public health policies in the future, we recommend that human rights protections be expanded and the prohibition of discrimination be extended beyond a limited list of grounds.
