Ensuring equitable emergency, critical and operative care.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 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
Conditions requiring emergency, critical and operative (ECO) care account for a substantial proportion of preventable mortality and disability worldwide, yet ECO systems remain fragmented and underdeveloped in many settings. Recent global policy advances, including the adoption of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Strategy and Action Plan for Integrated ECO Care by the World Health Assembly, provide an important opportunity to strengthen these systems. However, implementation must prioritise equity. ECO care spans a wide spectrum of complexity and cost, from basic triage, oxygen therapy and essential operations to advanced intensive care and specialised surgery. Given finite resources, health systems should first ensure universal access to foundational ECO care: early recognition of illness, basic airway and oxygen support, essential medications, monitoring, infection prevention, and timely referral. Approaches such as Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) offer a feasible, highly cost-effective minimum standard of care, and prioritising such foundational ECO care is both an ethical imperative and the most effective pathway to achieving equitable population-level health gains.
