Mortality risk for healthcare workers and journalists in the Gaza Strip over 2023-24.
Observational study in European journal of public health, 2026. 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
Armed conflicts often expose groups protected under international humanitarian law, such as healthcare workers (HW) and journalists (JN), to disproportionate risks and in the Israel Gaza war it was particularly evident. However, quantitative assessments of their mortality relative to the general population remain limited. Using official data sources, cross-referenced lists from professional associations, and rigorous statistical methods, we estimated higher mortality among HW and JN during the 2023-24 Israel Gaza war. Mortality risks were consistently higher among these protected groups, ranging from 36% to more than sixfold higher for journalists compared with Gaza residents of the same age and sex. Our findings highlight the urgent global need to protect HW and JN in all conflict settings and to ensure accountability for violations of international humanitarian law.
