Incidence and prevalence of rabies virus infections in tested humans and animals in Asia: A systematic review and meta-analysis study.
Review in One health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: Rabies is a fatal neurological zoonotic disease affecting warm-blooded animals, causing nearly 60,000 human deaths annually, primarily in developing Asian and African countries (95 % of cases). This review examines the prevalence and incidence of rabies in tested humans and animals across Asia. Methods: We searched for scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2024 in electronic databases. Ninety-seven publications were selected for the assessment of the rabies prevalence and nine for the assessment of the rabies incidence. Results: Overall, the prevalence of rabies based on the random-effects meta-analysis was 23 % (95 % CI 22.7-23.4) in tested animals and 52 % (95 % CI 40.2-63.8) in tested humans. Among animals, foxes had the highest test prevalence of 78.3 % (95 % CI 70.4 %-86.2 %) followed by dogs (38.1 %, 95 % CI 31.2 %-45 %). The incidence in tested animals was 0.5 % (95 % CI 0.4 %-0.6 %) and 0 % (95 % CI 0 %-0 %) in tested humans. Among animals, dogs have the highest incidence at 0.7 % (95 % CI 0.5 %-0.8 %). Conclusion: Many Asian countries have eradicated rabies by implementing control measures such as animal registration, quarantine, isolation, and mandatory mass vaccination. However, rising fox populations now pose a potential risk for rabies spread in the region.
