Which sectors should be involved in public health emergency preparedness, response, and recovery decision-making? A RAND-modified consensus procedure among European Union country experts.

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 COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the imperative for multisectoral collaboration and a whole-of-society approach to managing public health emergencies (PHE). However, there are currently no guidelines available on which sectors should be included in public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR). There is also a lack of guidance on how to encourage multisectoral collaboration during emergencies. This study gathers insights from European experts to identify key sectors for PHE preparedness, response, and recovery.
methodsA multi-stage Delphi study was conducted with European PHE experts to compile (i) a consensus-driven list of priority sectors for PHE decision-making, and (ii) a list of recommendations on how to incorporate multisectoral collaboration in PHEPR plans.
resultsOf the 28 predefined sectors, consensus was reached among experts on 12 sectors that should be included in decision-making during preparedness, response, and recovery. One additional sector was identified as relevant during the response phase. Furthermore, consensus was reached for ten suggested recommendations on how to incorporate multisectoral collaboration in national PHEPR plans.
conclusionsThis study provides the collective opinion of European PHE experts on a list of 13 sectors that should be included in decision-making during PHE preparedness, response, and/or recovery. It also provides ten recommendations on how to improve multisectoral collaboration. These can be used as systematic checklists when PHEPR experts consider how to integrate different sectors and multisectoral collaboration in PHE management.
