The positive spin is that someone got funded to do this kind of big-picture analysis and got it published in The Lancet.
There were 1,792 potential country-intervention pairs (although it is not immediately clear if they did all 1,792 pairs). So I don’t think most reasonable readers would view these findings as substitutes for a more in-depth, country-specific analysis on the potentially promising intervention. They did publish at least some data for each intervention, although maybe it isn’t enough to poke at each of the country-intervention pairs.
