Socioeconomic vulnerability and the management of domestic animal hosts in urban environments: a one health issue.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundWithin socioeconomically vulnerable communities, dogs and cats are also exposed to deficient sanitation infrastructure, conditions of mistreatment, and malnutrition. This scenario promotes the maintenance of pathogen reservoirs, posing risks to domestic and wild animals, as well as to humans. Considering this context, our objective is to demonstrate how socio-environmental conditions influence the reduction in quality of life and the vulnerability status of these animals, making them more prone to infections and the transmission of zoonotic pathogens. In a cross-sectional study, we applied questionnaires to volunteer pet guardians in the neighborhoods of Marechal Rondon (MR) and Pau da Lima (PDL), Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, and collected blood and stool samples from dogs and cats for hematological and parasitological studies. A population of dogs and cats treated at a private veterinary service was used as a control for hematological analyses. Statistical analysis of the variables of interest was performed using univariate mixed generalized linear models, multimodel inference, and quantitative model classification based on Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and the weighting of the relative contribution of each variable to the average model.
resultsWe sampled 202 dogs and 128 cats in MR and 132 dogs and 42 cats in PDL. Among the dogs, 242 underwent blood counts, and 137 underwent stool parasitology tests. Among the cats, 96 underwent blood counts, and 30 underwent parasitology tests. We observed significant differences in the average values of HCT, PPT, and Eos between animals from the communities and the control group, both for dogs and cats. Different individual animal variables, household characteristics, and environmental factors were associated with changes in hematological and parasitological parameters, thus affecting the overall health of the dogs and cats.
conclusionsThis study highlights the need for basic animal health measures, such as sterilization, improved nutrition, deworming, and controlling street access, to reduce the competence of these animals as hosts of infectious agents, considering the vulnerability of these communities. Therefore, it is necessary to expand public policies focused on the promotion and prevention of comprehensive health, extending these measures to animal health.
