Resurgence of cholera on the shores of Lake Tanganyika: security instability in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as an aggravating factor and call to action.
Article in Conflict and health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe Great Lakes region in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), currently affected by armed conflict, remains the ecological niche of Vibrio cholerae. Massive population displacement has increased population density in areas surrounding Lake Tanganyika, particularly in South Kivu and Tanganyika Provinces.
objectivesTo describe the factors driving the persistence of cholera in this conflict-affected region and to underline the urgent need for integrated public health and humanitarian action. KEY
findingsDisplaced populations, often lacking shelter, sanitation, and access to quality healthcare, are highly exposed to cholera transmission. This situation increases the risk of spread to other provinces of the DRC and to neighbouring countries (Burundi and Tanzania).
conclusionImmediate action by national authorities and international humanitarian actors is required to contain cholera transmission around Lake Tanganyika and prevent wider regional propagation.
