Strategic analysis of financing communicable diseases in Afghanistan.
Article in Cost effectiveness and resource allocation : C/E, 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
backgroundAfghanistan as a low-income country suffers from the heavy burden of Communicable Diseases (CDs) and their significant economic consequences. Therefore, this research is aimed to strategically analyze the financing system of CDs management in Afghanistan and provide effective solutions.
methodsWe conducted the qualitative research using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). An interview guide was used to conduct the semi- structured interviews with 49 experts from the Afghanistan health system. We used the framework analysis method to analyze the results.
resultsIn this research, we found 12 strengths, 16 weaknesses, 9 opportunities, 21 threats, and 47 solutions. The main strength was diverse international funding sources for CDs control. The weakest points were the lack of a health insurance system, limited government budget allocation for health, high out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE), fragmented donor's funds, poor managerial capacity, and donor-dependent health system. The main opportunity was the commitment and interest of donors to eradicate CDs. Lack of political commitment, cut of donors' aids, brain drain, low health literacy of people, and lack of drinkable water and sewage systems were the main threats. Increasing the government budget allocation, establishing health insurance system, implementing employees' retention strategies, integrating all CDs funds, strategic purchasing, strengthening public-private partnership (PPP), implementing appropriate user fees, and raising public awareness about CDs were the most important solutions.
conclusionThe financing system of CDs management should be strengthened in such a way that it collects scattered financial resources, aggregates and transparently manages them. Then, they should be used to provide CDs control services that will reduce the CDs burden, improve people's health and protect from financial risks.
