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

Anticipatory action (AA) has transformed how humanitarian actors respond to forecasted crises, yet most systems remain built around single hazards. This perspective argues that to stay effective in a world where climate, conflict, and economic shocks increasingly intersect, AA must evolve toward a multi-risk approach. Drawing on a review of 105 active frameworks in 2023 and 154 in 2024 from the Anticipation Hub's 2024 and 2025 global overview reports, expert consultations, and 17 interviews, we examine how practitioners and scientists are beginning to bridge this gap. Emerging innovations-such as multi-risk analysis informing AA design, scenario-based triggers, conflict-sensitive planning, and adaptive financing-offer promising pathways, but current systems still struggle to capture dynamic vulnerabilities and interactions between risks. Advancing AA will require embracing uncertainty and redesigning systems to learn, adapt, and act across interconnected risks-moving from anticipating single hazards to anticipating intersected crises.
