Prevalent zoonoses in Sao Paulo State, Brazil: the role of bats and molecular diagnosis.
Review in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This review explores the landscape of prevalent zoonotic diseases in Sao Paulo State, Brazil, focusing on the role of bats as reservoirs and the application of molecular biology in the diagnosis. The zoonoses covered include visceral and cutaneous leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, toxoplasmosis, bartonellosis, Q fever, Brazilian spotted fever, and leptospirosis. Molecular techniques can improve public health responses by accurately identifying pathogens and tracking their transmission dynamics in populations, thus enhancing early detection, characterization of strains, and monitoring of disease outbreaks. By elucidating the epidemiology and molecular aspects of zoonoses associated with bats in Sao Paulo State, we highlight the importance of integrated surveillance systems and multidisciplinary approaches to effectively manage and prevent these diseases.
