[Interdependent islands: health policies and medical practices in the care, management, and research of a neglected disease in the Global South].
Article in Cadernos de saude publica, 2026. 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
This study analyzes medical practices related to hydatidosis in the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. This parasitic zoonotic disease is recognized as a significant public health problem in South America. Nevertheless, it is included among the neglected diseases as classified by the World Health Organization - those that primarily affect the poorest populations living in rural, remote, or marginalized areas with limited access to health services. The objective is to examine how hydatidosis is configured as a health issue through an analysis of medical practices involved in its care, management, and research, from Global South perspectives. A qualitative design was employed, including interviews with healthcare professionals working in the field, as well as the construction of a documentary corpus comprising technical reports from 2015 to 2023 and public policies at different levels. The study identifies three main characteristics of practices related to hydatidosis in Santiago del Estero: (1) a medical management style marked by colonial and authoritarian traits, in tension with local technical autonomy and weakened by a lack of political support; (2) fragmented healthcare processes, with limited intersectoral coordination and a predominance of biomedical and technocratic models; and (3) health research aligned with global priorities, often disconnected from local needs. These dynamics reflect a structural dependence on standardized approaches, to the detriment of contextualized and comprehensive public health strategies.
