1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Leptospirosis has a complex transmission, involving rodents and many species of domestic and wild animals. Carrier animals spread leptospires, contaminating soil and water, the main sources of human infection. The risk of infection is modulated by socio-economic factors, environment and host animals and has changed, historically linked to agriculture but now prevalent in recreational environments. Leptospirosis also reveal gender-specific exposure patterns that determine infection risks. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, the One Health approach highlights the ecosystem dynamics through which leptospires interact with hosts and abiotic factors, ensuring their survival and transmission. We advocate for integrating gender considerations into the ecosystem dynamics of complex zoonoses, such as leptospirosis, through a One Health perspective. This approach, yet to be fully explored, may enhance our understanding of the infection and its modulating factors. A scoping review of the literature was conducted across Embase and Pubmed databases to collect information on sex and gender-specific drivers, sources of infections, environmental drivers, and related risks of leptospirosis. Quantitative data were extracted from the articles selected according to a list of criteria, and analyzed to discern sex and gender disparities and identify primary drivers of leptospirosis. We confirmed that the excess of male leptospirosis cases described in many parts of the world is also present in Europe. Furthermore, we identified environmental and sociocultural drivers and hypothesized their interactions between and within human, animal, and environmental sectors. These interactions modulate direct and indirect exposure to
