The global implications of U.S. withdrawal from WHO and the USAID shutdown: challenges and strategic policy considerations.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The U.S. withdrawal from the WHO and the shutdown of USAID disrupt global health governance, threatening disease surveillance and reversing progress made in combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria through initiatives like PEPFAR. The WHO's central role in coordinating global health responses, exemplified by its leadership in the COVAX initiative, is critical to pandemic preparedness and equitable vaccine distribution. The disengagement decision undermines humanitarian relief efforts, particularly in fragile states where U.S. contributions are vital for food security, education, and healthcare. This policy brief outlines actionable recommendations to mitigate the risks of U.S. disengagement, focusing on regional health capacity-building, public-private partnerships, and the continuation of critical investments in global health systems.
