Advancing Insights Into Visceral Leishmaniasis: Challenges, Innovations, and Future Directions in Global Disease Management.
Article in Journal of parasitology research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, is a life-threatening neglected tropical disease primarily caused by Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Peer-reviewed literature published from 2000 to 2024 was retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to assess epidemiological patterns, diagnostic advancements, therapeutic options, and vector control strategies. Results: The analysis revealed progress in diagnostic tools such as rK39-based rapid tests and molecular diagnostics. Therapeutic improvements, notably liposomal amphotericin B and miltefosine, have emerged, although drug resistance and limited accessibility remain problematic. Vector control through residual spraying and community programs shows promise but is hindered by insecticide resistance. Furthermore, HIV co-infection and climate-driven spread exacerbate control efforts. Conclusions: Comprehensive management of VL requires integrative approaches that combine novel diagnostics, targeted treatment, innovative vector control, and robust public health systems. Emphasis on vaccine development, digital health solutions, and community participation is crucial for sustainable control and eventual elimination.
