Multistate cholera outbreak in Sudan amid ongoing armed conflict, 2023-2024.
Article in International journal of infectious diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundIn 2023, Sudan experienced a major cholera outbreak affecting 10 states amidst armed conflict that severely disrupted health services.
objectivesThis study aimed to describe the magnitude and pattern of the cholera outbreak in Sudan amidst the armed conflict and provide timely insights.
methodsThis was a retrospective record-based descriptive (cross-sectional) study. The study used surveillance data available at the national level (from August 2023 - February 2024). Epidemiological measurements were calculated, and data were analysed using Epi Info 7 software.
resultsA total of 9,581 cases were reported in 10 states (with an overall attack rate (AR) of 3.5/10,000 people) and 238 reported deaths (with a crude case fatality ratio (CFR) of 2.48%). There was an observable variation in AR and CFR between the states. The duration of the outbreak varied across states, ranging from 4 to 18 weeks.
conclusionsCholera caused significant mortality and morbidity, facilitated by conflict. To better address recurrent cholera and the challenges imposed by conflict, health authorities need to invest in communities through strengthening engagement, rising awareness and adopting community-based preparedness and response strategies. In addition, ensuring the readiness of the primary healthcare level requires training for healthcare workers and maintaining the flow of supplies.
