Health-Climate Change-Migration Triad and Elderly Migrant Health in Africa.
Review in Annals of global 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
Climate change is a contributing factor to the high burden of infectious and noncommunicable diseases in Africa, in particular a resource-poor setting already faced with worsening humanitarian and socio-economic crises, as well as a rising incidence and prevalence of noncommunicable and chronic diseases. Thus, examining studies on the triad, climate change-migration-health, would provide more direction on how climate change mitigation can be incorporated into health system planning in Africa. This paper seeks to review studies on the climate change-migration-health triad with a particular focus on those that address elderly health outcomes in relation to the triad and provide guidelines on how governments can enhance their health systems and mitigate climate change to enable the elderly and elderly migrants to cope and age healthily. The author conducted a review of research articles, reviews, and documents using online databases, including Google Scholar, Google, and Web of Science. The following keywords were combined with the Boolean operators AND and OR to conduct the search: ageing population, environmental changes, climate change, gerontology, and the elderly. Limiters were: language: papers published in English on the themes; and period: papers and documents from 1990 to 2025. Documents, papers, and articles were from both regional (African region) and international sources. The author's search lasted 3 weeks and yielded 44 articles, of which 18 were selected for thematic analysis. Thematic analysis of articles revealed that climate change impacts on the elderly are severe, with the elderly migrants presenting a greater vulnerability; impacts of climate change on African health systems are projected to be severe due to weak health systems. This paper underscores the need for African health systems to integrate data-driven climate change mitigation strategies into health systems and improve community engagement and international collaboration to tackle climate change and health system challenges.
