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 editorial, published on the occasion of the World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day in 2026, highlights the persistent and pressing issue of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and their impact on global health equity. It argues that addressing NTDs is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic necessity for achieving global health security and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The editorial emphasizes the need for integrating NTD control strategies with the SDGs to leverage synergies and maximize impact. For instance, improving water and sanitation (SDG 6) directly contributes to the prevention of schistosomiasis. Additionally, the Pandemic Agreement, co-signed by member countries of World Health Organization in 2025, provides an opportunity to mainstream NTDs into health security planning, ensuring resilience against future outbreaks. The editorial concludes by calling for sustained action and increased investment in research and development, One Health approaches, and policy coherence to embed NTDs in pandemic preparedness and universal health coverage agendas. Achieving a future free from NTDs is possible, but it requires unwavering commitment, collaboration, and equitable resource allocation.
