Allocation of the National Institutes of Health funding and burden of disease in 2008-2021 in the United States.
Article in npj health systems, 2025. 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
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is critical in funding innovations in disease detection and treatment. We constructed a panel dataset that combined NIH funding allocation and the burden of disease (BoD) for 65 disease categories from 2008 through 2021 in the United States. A dynamic panel data model was employed to examine the relationship between NIH funding allocation and existing and prior BoD, while controlling for prior NIH funding allocation. We found an increase in both NIH funding and BoD over 2008-2021. Cross-sectionally, NIH funding allocation was associated with BoD in 2021 but not in 2008. However, longitudinally, NIH funding allocation was not associated with BoD in any specific year within the past five years. Thus, there is a weak association between the population's health needs and NIH funding allocation, necessitating targeted strategies to incentivize public funding to better align with the changes in population health status.
