Dismantling structural inequities in global prevention of childhood and adolescent non-communicable diseases.
Article in Journal 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
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for a growing proportion of morbidity and disability among children and adolescents worldwide. Contemporary NCD preventive strategies are predominantly adult-centric, resulting in delayed prevention and widening inequities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This neglect reflects a deeper structural and ethical failure, sustained by fragmented financing, siloed governance, commercial determinants of health, and short-term political priorities. Drawing on life-course theory, systems thinking, and principles of global health justice, childhood and adolescent NCD neglect can be understood as a systematic gap in long-term health governance that undermines human capital formation and entrenches socioeconomic disadvantage. A policy reorientation that positions early-life NCD prevention as a strategic investment in sustainable development is required. Priority reforms include embedding paediatric NCD services within universal health coverage, strengthening age-disaggregated surveillance systems, institutionalising intersectoral governance mechanisms, and establishing global accountability frameworks. Protecting children and adolescents from preventable NCDs constitutes not only a public health necessity but a moral, economic, and political imperative.
