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

backgroundThe One Health Systems Transboundary Assessment for Priority Zoonoses (OHTAPZ) tool was developed to address the need for a multisectoral approach in assessing transboundary zoonotic disease threats within and across shared land borders. This study sought to implement recommendations from the tool's initial pilot and revise it for further application.

methodsThis revised methodology included an expanded stakeholder identification process in Phase 1, an interactive tabletop exercise for assessment in Phase 2, and a partner-led strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis in Phase 3. We implemented the revised tool in Jordan and Iraq, focusing our assessment and analysis at the Karameh-Turaibil formal land border crossing.

resultsImplementation of the revised methodology resulted in expanded identification and engagement of nontraditional One Health partners and highlighted mechanisms by which partners communicate and coordinate across levels, sectors at the national level, within and between points of entry (POEs), and bilaterally when preventing, detecting, and responding to priority transboundary zoonotic diseases. Both countries have core One Health capacities available at Karameh and Turaibil POEs and can leverage existing, effective mechanisms for communication and coordination when facing transboundary threats. However, reporting systems, budget and workforce constraints, and geographical/ conflict-related limitations are challenges.

conclusionsThe OHTAPZ tool provides a methodology for countries to conduct national and bilateral assessments to understand, integrate, and improve One Health systems and to reassess and refine strategies for the prevention, detection, and response to emerging and evolving transboundary threats. These findings can help countries understand and improve their One Health capacities, especially at POEs.
