One health strategic planning: multi-criteria decision analysis to prioritize rabies interventions in Burkina Faso.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundRabies is recognized among the top five priority zoonotic diseases in Burkina Faso. As in other endemic countries around the world, implementing the One Health approach is a best way towards rabies control. In 2022, Burkina Faso adopted a national strategic plan (NSP) with the aim of advancing collaborative efforts towards the elimination of domestic dog-mediated human rabies by 2030. The first two years following the adoption of this strategic plan were characterized by a low level of commitment from involved stakeholders and unsuccessful implementation due to a wide range of constraints that those stakeholders are facing.
methodsTo review the ongoing strategy with these stakeholders, a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach has been proposed to establish a prioritization of interventions. Participatory workshops joined relevant 45 institutional and community stakeholders (22 participants for human health group, 23 participants in animal health group, 45 participants for the plenary session) involved in animal and human rabies control, as well as actors from other sectors or civil society. The method was applied in parallel in two groups centred around sectoral participants from human and animal health, then combined through discussions in plenary sessions.
resultsOverall, 41 interventions were selected, related to data collection and analysis, prevention and control, laboratory diagnosis, dog population management, advocacy and public awareness, and cross-cutting issues. Seven analysis criteria were defined by the stakeholders, related to rabies elimination, strategic and operational aspects, One Health capacity development, and social impact. The results revealed distinct prioritization between the sectoral groups. However, a relative agreement could be highlighted on the importance ascribed to a set of cross-sectoral interventions, including harmonization of procedures for surveillance, data sharing as well as prevention and control. Accordingly, interventions perceived as sector-specific were attributed with the lowest scores.
conclusionThe results of the study inform decision-makers regarding the interventions that are best supported by implementing stakeholders, hence showing the potential for increased their ownership, commitment, and eventually efficacy.
