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

Objective: To assess the barriers and opportunities to strengthening climate-resilient health systems in the Eastern Caribbean. Design and methods: Information was extracted from desk reviews of the National Health Adaptation Plans for Climate Change (2022-2023). SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analyses informed plan preparation. Results: Barriers included inadequate enabling governance and weak multisectoral collaboration. Opportunities included strong political commitment, inter-ministerial committees, and access to climate and health financing. Conclusion: Caribbean small island states are well positioned to apply adaptation and mitigation measures to build climate-resilient health systems.
