Drought and armed conflict as drivers of overcrowding in Sudan's refugee camps.
Article in International 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
Forced migration is a result of variable changes, including human-made factors, environmental factors or both. Climate change has been a significant cause of increased forced migration in Sudan. The prolonged drought attributed to climate change affects Sudanese citizens, with 80% of the population relying on agriculture and pastoralism as their main source of income. Since April 2023, the conflict has displaced over 14.5 million people. Four million have sought safety in neighbouring countries. The refugee camps lack essential resources, and the displaced people face a health crisis, with outbreaks of cholera, 30% of children facing malnutrition and widespread mental health issues. Access to sustainable WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) systems, improved healthcare, mass vaccinations and climate-sensitive interventions are key to mitigation efforts. The ongoing conflict in Sudan demands a coordinated response from the Sudanese government, humanitarian agencies and international partners to prevent further catastrophe.
