Rethinking neglected tropical diseases: A shift towards more inclusive and equitable terminology.
Article in PLOS global public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) refer to a group of 21 diseases that disproportionally affect impoverished communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) [1]. NTD collectively impact 1.7 billion people, which is about 20% of the world's population [1]. Each year, NTD account for more than 200,000 deaths, with millions left disabled and disfigured due to insufficient access to care and affordable treatment, often leading to social exclusion, stigmatization and discrimination. Although the term NTD has successfully directed funding and resources towards these conditions and encouraged global partnerships and high-level policy initiatives, the term may also have unintended negative consequences. In this paper, we aim to explore the term NTD and stimulate a dialogue that re-evaluates its meaning into more inclusive and equitable language.
