Implications of U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization on health financing in Africa.
Article in Health policy OPEN, 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
The U.S. decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) under President Trump's second term has significant implications for global health financing, particularly in Africa. As the largest contributor to the WHO, the U.S. provided 12-15% of the organization's total funding between 2022 and 2023, and its withdrawal threatens essential health programs addressing HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, tuberculosis, and malaria, which heavily rely on external funding. Reduced funding will disproportionately affect low- and middle-income African countries, increasing the financial burden on households and limiting access to critical healthcare services.
