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

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) impose severe health, social and economic burdens on millions in impoverished regions. These diseases, once overlooked, have gained global attention following strategic advocacy and planning by the World Health Organization and its partners, and are now prioritized within the Sustainable Development Goals framework. In this Review, we examine current interventions including preventive chemotherapy, innovative and intensified disease management, vector control, One Health, and improvements in water, sanitation and hygiene; and we highlight the role of human behaviour and community engagement and involvement in driving intervention success, sustainability and ownership within communities. Regional disparities, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, call for tailored approaches that tackle logistical barriers, funding constraints, donor dependency, stigma and drug resistance. To control and eradicate NTDs by 2030, we require sustained political commitment, innovative financing and the greater integration of NTD strategies within broader health systems.
