Finishing the task of eliminating neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in WHO South-East Asia Region: promises kept, challenges, and the way forward.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Globally 20 Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are prioritized by World Health Organization (WHO), of which 15 are present in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) with all 11 countries being affected. As the region bears 54% of the global burden, "Finishing the task of eliminating neglected tropical diseases and other diseases on the verge of elimination" was identified as a regional flagship priority in 2014 with focus on lymphatic filariasis (LF), kala-azar, yaws, trachoma, and leprosy. Intensified efforts have been made to raise and sustain political commitment and momentum among partners innovate tools, interventions and strategies to accelerate elimination, and establish the process and support countries to accelerate and validate achievement of elimination targets. Seven countries have verified or validated for having eliminated at least one NTD since 2016, including yaws, LF and trachoma. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of people requiring interventions against NTDs in the South-East Asia Region reduced by 20%. The priorities in the next decade are to strengthen last-mile efforts to eliminate identified NTDs, sustain it and to use the lessons learnt to eliminate other NTDs. Funding: None.
