Strengthening natural hazard preparedness in Nepal: insights from stakeholder and community engagement.
Article in Global health action, 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
Nepal faces many natural hazards, including floods, landslides, earthquakes, and extreme weather, which severely impact infrastructure, public health, and community resilience. In 2025, we conducted a formative stakeholder and community engagement exercise to inform research on strengthening local preparedness. This included consultative meetings with national agencies, local government, and community members in two hazard-affected municipalities. Field notes from the meetings were thematically analysed to identify priority themes. Findings indicated that national legal and policy frameworks exist, but implementation at municipal and ward levels remains inconsistent and hindered by limited institutional capacity. Local actions were largely focused on relief and reconstruction rather than preparedness and risk reduction. Community members and local officials described limited awareness of preventive strategies but strong willingness to engage in preparedness planning. Stakeholders identified priorities including improved coordination, legal literacy, locally tailored early-warning communication, and better data systems. These findings will inform co-development of a practical preparedness resource.
