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

In 2025, 300 million people require humanitarian assistance, with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) crises driving 60% of preventable maternal deaths in conflict-affected countries. Despite the proven life-saving impact of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for SRH in Crisis Situations, official development assistance for SRH declined by 27% between 2022 and 2023, threatening implementation in fragile settings. Analysis of MISP Readiness Assessments across 64 countries (2021-2024) reveals critical gaps: while 95% have national emergency policies, only 40% of these integrate essential MISP services. With four in five countries at risk of missing 2030 maternal mortality targets, urgent action is imperative. Countries must anchor MISP into national disaster frameworks, establish dedicated SRH emergency funding, mandate MISP training for frontline providers, and integrate preparedness into health system strengthening. Reaffirming political and financial commitment to MISP is imperative to prevent preventable deaths and safeguard SRH as a core component of humanitarian and health system resilience.
