Risk factors for emerging, re-emerging, and newly recognized arboviruses and zoonotic viruses in Brazilian amazon.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 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
Research conducted over seven decades in the Brazilian Amazon has documented the emergence and re-emergence of arboviruses and zoonotic viruses associated with changes in natural ecosystems. Disturbances such as highway construction, deforestation for cattle ranching and soybean cultivation, dam construction for hydroelectric power, intensive mineral extraction, and other human activities can result in outbreaks of viruses maintained in zoonotic or enzootic cycles within forests. These disturbances facilitate the contact between humans and zoonotic hosts or vectors. The potential for a pandemic caused by Amazonian viruses is substantial. The most effective preventative measure is the preservation of the Amazon biome to reduce human encroachment on forested areas, thereby minimizing contact with zoonotic viruses that could initiate a human-vector transmission cycle. Methods: Search strategy and selection criteria References for this Review were identified through searches of PubMed with the search terms "Brazilian Amazonia", "Amazonian Ecosystems", "Arboviruses" "Emergence and Reemergence of arboviruses", "Anthropized ecosystem alterations", "Highway", "Mining","Hydroelectric power plant dams" and "deforestation" from 1974 until April, 2025. Articles were also identified through searches of the authors' own files. Only papers published in English and Portuguese were reviewed. The final reference list was generated on the basis of originality and relevance to the broad scope of this Review.
