Free-roaming dog populations and movement methodologies for global rabies elimination: knowns and unknowns - a scoping review.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
Understanding free-roaming dog (FRD) demographics and movement patterns is essential for effective rabies control interventions, such as mass dog vaccinations (MDV). This review assesses published studies on FRD movement and enumeration to assess existing knowledge. A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Three databases, namely, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, were searched for publications between 2012 and 2024. A total of 2,167 articles were screened through successive filtration process to select a final corpus of 52 publications. The studies were predominantly from India (
