The Economic and Public Health Burden of Foodborne Illness in Somalia: Prevalence, Costs, and Policy Imperatives.
Article in Public health challenges, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.

Foodborne illnesses exert a substantial toll on public health and economic systems globally, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Somalia being disproportionately affected due to fragile health infrastructure, limited regulatory oversight, and high prevalence of informal food markets. This study assessed the prevalence and economic burden of foodborne diseases in Somalia by integrating regional epidemiological data and cost estimates to compensate for national data gaps. Cholera remains the most frequently reported illness, but evidence from sub-Saharan Africa suggests a broader burden of pathogens such as
