1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Core capacities in preparedness, detection, and response to health emergencies were fundamental to achieving health equity. However, evidence on the socioeconomic inequalities in country-level global health security (GHS) capacities remains limited, and the role of the health system in contributing to these disparities is insufficiently understood. Methods: We assessed the socioeconomic inequalities in country-level GHS capacities and decomposed the role of health systems in shaping these inequalities by applying the GHS index and Joint External Evaluation. We conducted the decomposition based on a linear regression model with the determinants reflecting economic status, social development, and the health system. We also decomposed the changes in the concentration index (CI) using an Oaxaca-type decomposition. Results: Disparities in country-level health security capacities in response to health emergencies have been reported (CI = 0.143; P < 0.001). Economic status accounted for 44.639% of the total inequality, while social development accounted for -13.386%, and the health system for 67.454%. Disparity of the health system was the leading cause of inequality in health security capacity. From 2019 to 2021, economic status contributed to the change of inequality by 70.168%, social development by -62.544%, and the health system by -42.219%. Conclusions: Our results emphasised the fundamental role of health system strengthening in improving health security. Strengthening health systems, particularly through the enhancement of the universal health coverage framework by recognising the interconnection between health systems and health security, offers a viable strategy for achieving equality-driven GHS goals.
