Comparing and contrasting two United Nations Environment Programme reports on COVID-19.
Article in Science in One Health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In 2022 a report was published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) into the causes and implications of the pandemic. This adds to an earlier UNEP report into the pandemic. Each of these reports identifies a small number of important drivers for zoonotic emergence. While the two reports substantially agree, there are also some divergences, the discussion of which is the main purpose of this letter. Each report agrees that the farming of livestock to supply meat and other animal products is an underlying driver of potential zoonotic spillover. The chief difference between these reports, with regard to this aspect, concerns the word "protein". The other important difference is that the later report identifies a potential role of laboratory and medical procedures contributing to zoonotic outbreaks and even to pandemics. Each of these differences are described. The letter concludes by discussing a recent WHO report that also warns of the risk of viral manipulation, and argues that this is an emerging topic relevant to One Health.
