Building resilience: Assessing the Canadian Animal Health Surveillance System's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities within Canada's early warning system for animal health.

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: The frequency and sizes of animal health events, including outbreaks of infectious and zoonotic diseases, are rising globally, driven by factors such as intensified animal production, expanded transportation networks, and increased human-animal interactions. Weaknesses in disease surveillance systems further exacerbate the spread of diseases, underscoring the need for robust early warning systems (EWS) to enable timely interventions and prevent large-scale outbreaks. The Canadian Animal Health Surveillance System (CAHSS) plays an important role in Canada's national animal health infrastructure, functioning as a collaborative "network of networks" to strengthen and enhance surveillance, making it a key component of Canada's animal health EWS. Objective: This study aimed to i) identify key components of a robust EWS; and ii) evaluate CAHSS's strengths, limitations, opportunities, and threats in fulfilling this role. Procedure: A rapid scoping review of peer-reviewed and gray literature was conducted using electronic databases and government resources. The review assessed factors within the Food and Agriculture Organization's draft Strategic Framework for Early Warning Systems in Animal Health, including i) surveillance, ii) risk monitoring, iii) communication, and iv) decision support. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis was undertaken to evaluate the role of CAHSS within Canada's EWS for animal health threats and inform key recommendations. Results conclusion and clinical relevance: The review underscores CAHSS's role in fostering trust among stakeholders, promoting valuable information-sharing, and highlights opportunities to enhance early warning by clarifying roles and responsibilities across partners and integrating additional technologies to improve data accessibility and analytical capabilities. By identifying CAHSS's strengths and areas for growth, this review aims to inform future efforts to strengthen Canada's capacity to prevent, prepare for, and respond to emerging animal health threats.
