Zoonotic filariasis and its public health significance: a comprehensive literature review.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 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.

Abstract
Animal filariasis, a group of vector-borne parasitic infections, is a widely significant yet often underreported complex disease affecting a broad range of domestic and wild animals across tropical and subtropical regions. This comprehensive literature review aims to compile current knowledge on its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, economic impact, and zoonotic implications to support improved control strategies. This review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to collect data on filarial species, their vectors, hosts, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and control measures across different geographical regions. Disease is caused by filarial nematodes belonging to order Spirurida, family Onchocercidae, which include species such as
