People are neglected, not diseases: the relationship between disability and neglected tropical diseases.
Article in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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
People with disabilities and the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are separately receiving increased focus. In light of this positive development, and the similarities and intersections between the negative impacts experienced by both people with disabilities and people with NTDs, we believe now is the right time to focus attention on the overlap between the two. Both people with NTDs and people with disabilities experience a myriad of overlapping negative health, financial and socio-cultural consequences. Despite this, we believe that disability is not yet properly prioritised on the development agenda, and that there are multiple opportunities to make NTD programming more inclusive, to the benefit of those at this neglected intersection and beyond. There are both opportunities and need to scale up, integrate, and invest in inclusive, health system-focused NTD programming. Realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals, Universal Health Coverage, and the control and elimination of NTDs all rely on ensuring people with disabilities are not left behind.
