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
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of international pooled procurement mechanisms, which are primarily represented by the United Nations Children ' s Fund (UNICEF) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), on the procurement prices of vaccines.
methodsBased on 14 497 vaccine procurement transaction records collected from 188 different countries spanning the period from 2013 to 2024, this research employed a high-dimensional fixed effects model along with an event study metho-dology to accurately identify the price effects and dynamic temporal trends, while simultaneously conducting a multidimensional heterogeneity analysis.
results(1) The baseline model demonstrated that, when compared to the independent self-procurement conducted by individual nations, utilizing pooled procurement through the UNICEF significantly reduced the average vaccine prices by 27.6% (
conclusionInstitutionalized pooled procurement mechanisms are capable of significantly reducing vaccine prices. For those countries that are currently in the immunization financing transition period, as well as those facing high self-procurement benchmark prices, participating in an efficient international pooled procurement platform serves as a critical institutional arrangement to replace external financial aid and to effectively maintain the long-term affordability of vaccines.
