Strengthening healthcare system resilience: a comprehensive framework for tropical cyclone preparedness and response.
Review in Lancet regional health. Americas, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This review examines healthcare system resilience to tropical cyclones through complementary frameworks of temporal phases (Before-During-After) and geographic contexts (Inside-Outside Impact Zone). The paper highlights how climate change is intensifying cyclone threats while demographic transitions create increasingly vulnerable patient populations dependent on continuous healthcare. Despite decreasing immediate mortality from cyclones, research reveals concerning increases in delayed morbidity and mortality due to disrupted healthcare access. Seven critical dimensions of healthcare resilience are identified: maintaining continuity of care for vulnerable populations, transitioning from reactive response to proactive resilience, strategic resource prioritization, adapting to climate change, integrating efforts across phases and zones, ensuring health equity, and addressing research gaps. A tiered approach to strengthening resilience is proposed, from immediate low-resource actions to long-term structural investments. The review emphasizes that healthcare systems must transform from reactive disaster response to proactive resilience strategies to protect vulnerable populations in an increasingly turbulent future climate.
