Beyond immunity gaps: health-system constraints and measles mortality in Bangladesh.
Article in Tropical medicine and health, 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
Bangladesh is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in two decades, with mortality that appears disproportionate to the reported case burden. While declining vaccination coverage has received considerable attention, health-system factors contributing to mortality remain underexplored. Government data show that nearly half of confirmed measles deaths occurred among infants too young for routine vaccination. A review of 34 media-profiled pediatric deaths identified recurrent barriers, including limited pediatric intensive care capacity, multiple facility transfers, referral delays, financial hardship, and geographic inequities in access to critical care. Reducing measles mortality requires strengthening both immunization coverage and health-system capacity, particularly pediatric critical care, oxygen therapy, and equitable access to emergency services.
