Article in Journal of international humanitarian action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the last few decades, there has been a marked turn to "humanitarianism from below" in thinking about and organizing humanitarian action, which is among other expressed in the localization agenda of humanitarian action. In the last years, there have been many initiatives to strengthen national actors as well as initiatives that are directed to organization, advocacy, and collective action. This paper theoretically positions the role of national and local service providers in the humanitarian arena and politics of knowledge production and then presents a specific initiative of humanitarian observatories in three countries. The paper brings out a number of issues relevant for other initiatives aiming to strengthen the role of national and local actors, namely that humanitarians are not the only relevant actors to deal with humanitarian crises, that context matters, the importance of agenda-setting, and the importance of sideways interaction between observatories in different crisis-affected regions.
