Exploring the One Health-One Welfare nexus and zoonoses.
Review in Science in One Health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: One Welfare expands the One Health approach by integrating animal welfare, human wellbeing, and environmental sustainability into a single framework. Despite growing global recognition of One Welfare as a governance tool to address zoonotic risks, societal vulnerabilities, and ethical challenges, its practical implementation remains limited in most regions. Uruguay provides a relevant case to explore how systemic gaps in animal welfare regulation can undermine public health resilience and zoonotic disease control. Methods: We analyzed Uruguay's position in international animal welfare indexes, reviewed national animal welfare legislation and educational strategies, and conducted a systematic assessment of One Welfare-related conditions. Additionally, we identified structural risks and governance deficits linked to inadequate animal welfare practices, including zoonotic risks, through a targeted literature review and policy analysis. Results: Despite global advances in multi-species health governance, Uruguay shows legislative fragility and fragmented institutional frameworks. Key failures include outdated laws, inadequate animal-ethical perception, uncontrolled companion animal populations, deficient sterilization practices despite legal mandates, overwhelmed shelters, rising animal-vehicle collisions, culturally entrenched but underregulated hunting, illegal wildlife trade, limited veterinary oversight, and painful routine farm practices with minimal anesthesia. Gaps in surveillance and biosecurity amplify underreported zoonotic threats, reflecting a structural disconnect between One Welfare principles and policy implementation. Conclusion: To move from aspirational discourse to actionable strategies, One Welfare must be embedded as a governance instrument that enables multi-species stewardship and integrated health systems. Uruguay exemplifies the pressing need for comprehensive, intersectoral solutions to mitigate zoonotic risks, enhance public health, and align national policies with global sustainability agendas.
