Integrating Citizen Science and Remote Sensing Data to Identify Key Environmental Factors Influencing H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus Potential Spillover Risk in the Philippines.

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
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus presents a serious threat to poultry and public health worldwide, with transmission dynamics shaped by avian migration patterns and environmental conditions. Recent outbreaks in the Philippines highlight the urgent need for effective control measures. While previous studies have shown the importance of waterfowl-to-poultry transmission and farm-to-farm spread, the spillover risk to local avian species remains underexplored. This study aimed to examine H5N1-HPAI outbreaks in poultry in relation to environmental factors and local avian species in the Philippines. We applied a two-step ecological niche modelling approach using maximum entropy algorithms. First, environmental variables from remote sensing images were used to predict the distribution of 10 common avian species based on citizen science data from the eBird platform. Next, these avian distribution data were combined with environmental variables to create a risk map for H5N1-HPAI outbreaks in the Philippines. The H5N1-HPAI risk model demonstrated strong predictive performance, with an AUCROC value of 0.936 ± 0.026. Key factors contributing to predicted H5N1-HPAI risk included precipitation levels, population density, and avian species such as the Eurasian Tree Sparrow and Zebra Dove. The higher risk of spillover for the two local avian species may be due to their shared similar environmental signatures with outbreak poultries. The risk map highlighted Metro Manila and Central Luzon as high-risk regions of H5N1-HPAI. This study identified the main clusters and environmental factors associated with avian influenza outbreaks in poultry in the Philippines. Additionally, the transmission risk may threaten the local avian population.
