Rocky Mountain West COVID-19 Modeling: A Descriptive Assessment of Public Health Needs During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Endemic Transition in Summer 2022.
Article in Public health reports (Washington, D.C. : 1974), 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
objectivesAlthough federal funding for COVID-19 pandemic response measures has ended, opportunities remain to understand the needs of public health departments and the potential use of infectious disease models in the postacute pandemic response. We conducted semistructured interviews with public health representatives representing state, local, and regional/tribal public health departments in the Rocky Mountain West in summer 2022 to understand their COVID-19 priorities, decision-making needs, and data resources.
methodsWe interviewed representatives from 6 organizations representing 3 state, local, and regional/tribal public health departments in the Rocky Mountain West.
resultsFrom interviews, priorities included having timely information on vaccines, being able to anticipate COVID-19 demands on hospitals, understanding the potential effects of emerging variants, and communicating immunity concepts to the public. Decisions focused on making public health recommendations as opposed to mandates. Multiple interviewees reported limited access to timely COVID-19 data, challenges tracking COVID-19 hospitalizations, and a desire for communication tools on vaccinations and immunity.
conclusionAlthough COVID-19 models can provide forecasts on hospital demand and project the effects of vaccines and variants in the endemic period, major gaps in data continue to challenge the public health response. Continued investments are needed in data and surveillance resources to respond to COVID-19 and to prepare for future pandemics.
