At the Crossroads for the Use of Drones in Public Health System in India: Leveraging Community Mobilisation.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) hold promise for transforming healthcare delivery, offering rapid and cost-effective solutions for transporting medical supplies, especially in difficult terrains. However, their successful adoption within public health systems requires careful consideration of community factors. This viewpoint emphasizes the critical role of community mobilization in fostering a robust and sustainable drone ecosystem for healthcare. Leveraging grassroot governance and community engagement is crucial for bridging the gap between technology and the public. Community members can provide valuable insights into local needs and ensure the safe and efficient drone operations. Moreover, community involvement, from planning to monitoring, ensures that drone services are culturally sensitive, address local needs, and promote trust. Thus, a community-centric approach not only enhances healthcare delivery but also addresses safety concerns and promotes the long-term sustainability of drone-based healthcare solutions, bringing us closer to achieving "Health for All".
