Descriptive Epidemiology of the 2022-2023 Cholera Outbreak in Lebanon and Lessons Learned in the Context of a Humanitarian Emergency Situation.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
On 6 October 2022, the first cholera outbreak in 3 decades was reported in Lebanon by the Ministry of Public Health. The outbreak spread across all 8 governorates (23 of 26 districts). From October 2022 to June 2023, 8072 cases (including 671 laboratory-confirmed cases) and 23 deaths were reported, resulting in a case fatality ratio of 0.28%. The outbreak was successfully contained through the implementation of coordinated multisectoral prevention and control strategies, supported by national and international stakeholders. The cholera vaccine campaign with a 1-dose strategy was started in November 2022. The proportion of vaccinated people among the target population evolved from 4.8% in November 2022 to 30.6% in December 2022, 34.2% in January 2023, and 45.3% in February 2023. This article describes the epidemiology of the cholera outbreak in Lebanon and summarizes the outbreak response in the context of a humanitarian emergency.
