From disaster to disease: Dengue outbreaks after mining dam failures in Mariana and Brumadinho, Brazil.
Article in One health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The mining dam failures in Mariana (2015) and Brumadinho (2019), Minas Gerais, Brazil, caused catastrophic loss of life and severe environmental damage. The drastic environmental changes caused by mudflows may have contributed to an increase in vector-borne infectious diseases and other public health concerns. This study analyzed infectious disease incidence between 2014 and 2020 using data from the Brazilian DATASUS platform and on-site assessments of rivers and environmental conditions. In Mariana, schistosomiasis notifications remained minimal, while dengue infections rose by over 100 % in both Mariana and Brumadinho. Incidents involving venomous animals remained high but unrelated to mining incidents. Mining collapses appear to have contributed to the rise in dengue and schistosomiasis cases in affected areas. Integrating sustainable development goals into mining practices is crucial to preventing future incidents and the emergence of vector-borne diseases in areas affected by mining activities.
