Predictors of community empowerment against dengue in Córdoba, Colombia.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 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
introductionGiven the phenomena and problems caused by neglected tropical diseases such as dengue, questions arise about the effectiveness of policies that guide control and prevention strategies in the territories at greatest risk, demanding greater research efforts. This study evaluates participation and governance as probable factors of community empowerment to address dengue in the department of Córdoba, Colombia.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted between 2022 and 2024. A multistage cluster probability sampling method was used to select four municipalities, rural and urban sectors, households, and 352 individuals out of a total of 4,169 people infected with dengue in 2019. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included a scoring system to measure empowerment at high, low, and medium levels. An ordinal regression model was also defined to identify predictors of empowerment, including variables such as sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about dengue, sanitation skills and conditions, participation, and governance, assigning a score to each response using the Likert scale technique.
resultsThe study found that as people participate more actively in processes related to their. well-being or community, they have a greater perception of the importance of participation, communication, and management of dengue prevention and control programs, as well as greater access to information, better prevention practices, and better sanitation conditions in the home. The probability of achieving a higher level of empowerment doubles; (OR = 1.97; p-value < 0.0001). compared to those with lower levels of the same characteristics or factors.
conclusionsThere is a need to strengthen inclusive, intersectoral community strategies with a territorial and rights-based approach to comprehensively address dengue in high-risk areas. This is in order to promote empowerment based on dialogical, participatory, and community management processes to improve disease prevention and control practices.
