Financing the transition: a roadmap for sustaining disease control in low- and middle-income countries after the 2025 contraction in development assistance for health.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
In 2025, development assistance for health fell by about 21% in a single year, driven largely by a 67% reduction in United States financing, disrupting HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, immunization and maternal health programs across low- and middle-income countries. Modelling indicates millions of avoidable deaths by 2030 if the resulting gap is not filled, yet most recipient governments have not reprioritized budgets or raised domestic revenue in response. This brief argues that the contraction is structural rather than cyclical and sets out a sequenced transition-financing roadmap. It proposes phased, country-led actions: protect frontline services immediately; mobilize domestic revenue through progressive as well as consumption taxes and restructure debt over the medium term; and embed efficiency and pooled procurement under the Lusaka Agenda, without allowing efficiency to substitute for adequate public financing.
