The public health ethics and economics of prioritizing prevention and equity.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 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
Internationally there are significant challenges to improving and protecting population health through effective prevention. In this novel analysis, we integrate public health evidence, ethics, and economics to argue that current health resourcing strategies neglect prevention, underestimate the social determinants of health, and fail to engage with the ethical dimensions of economic decision-making. We highlight the risk that overreliance on economic evidence may marginalize underserved populations, where data are limited, thereby deepening health inequalities. We conclude that improving population health and reducing disparities requires reframing prevention through both ethical and economic lenses. Investing in community-based, equity-oriented interventions can deliver sustained health and economic gains and support a more inclusive and resilient health system.
