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

High-quality data are a pre-requisite for the development of models-whether of famine or food and nutrition-related emergencies. We highlighted challenges, related to data in famines or near-famine emergencies, including data availability, quality, timeliness, and sharing; the misuse of data could be a real threat for applying new advanced data analytic tools, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. We also explored promising opportunities, such as democratization of data related to famine. With growing demands for real-time assessment and modeling of famine and extreme emergencies, it is increasingly important to understand how predictive models and emerging data-integration technologies are affected by biased, incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated data. As we push for addressing data constraints, we call for ethical data democratization to minimize the risks of data misuse, weaponization, and politization and to enable famine modeling for collective efforts to enhance early warning, real-time analysis, and response.
