Combating converging crises: The role of universities in global health, climate, and equity.
Article in The journal of climate change and health. 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
An urgent, global challenge exists at the intersection of climate change, public health, and equity requiring sustained, interdisciplinary action. With political polarization, institutional disinvestment, uneven global commitments, misinformation and scientific denialism, and escalating climate-driven health risks, including heat-related illnesses, wildfires and floods, infectious diseases, mental health distress, and worsening health disparities, universities are uniquely positioned to drive innovative and transformative solutions. This perspective, based on an international convening held at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in November 2024, outlines four interlinked roles for universities and offers a call to action. First, universities must sustain and protect scientific discovery, counter misinformation and safeguard research integrity. Second, they must diversify funding to maintain resilience. This means reimagining partnerships with governments, communities and industry. Third, they must uphold academic institutional responsibility including commitment to ethical inquiry, evidence-based science, and their own contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability. Fourth, they must transform education, equipping the next generation of leaders with transdisciplinary skills to navigate climate-health challenges. The recommendations provide a pathway during tenuous political times for academic institutions to remain trusted spaces for evidence-based solutions and global collaboration.
