Optimal control and cost-effectiveness analysis of Fasciola hepatica model.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
A deterministic model with an optimal control framework is formulated to analyse the cost-effectiveness of intervention measures used to control Fasciola hepatica in cattle populations. Using the Volterra-Lyapunov stability method, it is noted that the model is globally stable at the endemic equilibrium point. The Pontryagin maximum principle has been applied to determine optimal disease control conditions, including strategies such as pasture management, treatment of infected cattle, and molluscicide use. Numerical simulations for the optimum problem show that double and triple controls have significant effects on reducing disease transmission. The results indicate that for optimal impact, the molluscicide control parameter should always be at its highest possible value. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) analysis of strategies to reduce the disease shows that pasture management combined with molluscicide use will be the most effective and least expensive option. The molluscicide intervention rate should always be at its maximum value for better control of the disease. Educational programs for proper pasture management conditions and sufficient use of molluscicides can significantly reduce the spread of Fasciola hepatica among cattle and humans.
