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

Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (ERID) pose ongoing threats to global public health, demanding advanced detection methods for effective outbreak mitigation. This article explores collaboration between research teams based in the faculties of Health Sciences and Science of the University of Buea and the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science of the University of Ngaoundere (DigiCare Cameroon) for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) for early detection and management of ERID through a Digital One Health (DOH) approach. DigiCare is part of an interdisciplinary network called Artificial Intelligence for Pandemic and Epidemic Preparedness and Response Network (AI4PEP) aimed at addressing pandemic and epidemic preparedness and response by strengthening more equitable and effective public health preparedness and response to infectious disease outbreaks in low- and middle-income countries. DigiCare is aimed at improving the health and well-being of the population through sustainable and effective solutions that protect lives and ensure a resilient future leveraging on the power of AI and DOH. DigiCare Cameroon was launched on November 23rd, 2023, at the University of Buea campus during an event graced by numerous high-ranking university and government officials from the public health, environmental, scientific research, and veterinary sectors, alongside representatives from civil society, researchers, students, and community leaders. Baseline data have been collected in communities to provide an evidence-based platform to develop applications that tailor AI towards health care delivery using integrated DOH approaches. This inter-university collaboration will ultimately contribute in strengthening the capacities of health systems to prepare, prevent and mitigate epidemics and pandemics.
