The second Trump administration: A policy analysis of challenges and opportunities for European health policymakers.
Review in Health policy (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe second Trump administration has already made major changes in US policies that affect health and health systems worldwide.
methodsWe use the Health System Performance Assessment categories developed by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies to identify areas in which US actions affect the health systems and policies of European states and the EU, and presidential Executive Orders supplemented by campaign statements to understand US actions.
resultsWe identify relevant US policies in the areas of finance, resource generation (regulation, vaccines, artificial intelligence, supply chain resilience, workforce, research, education) and governance (geopolitical turbulence, climate change, US departure from the World Health Organization, and foreign aid). We then identify opportunities for states or the EU to strengthen their health systems, potential threats to their health systems that might arise from US actions, and serious confirmed threats.
conclusionThe second Trump administration is creating heavy demands on European governments in many areas, which might undermine their fiscal capacity and willingness to fund health systems or new ventures, but diminished US investment in areas such as multilateralism, pandemic response, research, education, and aid (especially in areas such as gender and reproductive health) all create opportunities for European policymakers to strengthen their health systems, health-related economic sectors, and influence in global health governance.
