One Health Approach to Sporothrix brasiliensis: Disinfection Strategies for Control and Prevention.
Article in Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 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
backgroundSporotrichosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by several species of Sporothrix, of which S. brasiliensis is the most virulent. Transmission primarily occurs through scratches, bites, or direct contact with exudates from infected cats and potentially through fomites.
methodsWe evaluated the efficacy of different disinfectant solutions in eliminating S. brasiliensis from contaminated surfaces, including medium-density fiberboard (MDF), tiles, stainless steel, and polyester fabric, by simulating both domestic and clinical environments. Sterile 9-cm² sections were uniformly inoculated with a standardized yeast-phase suspension. After drying, the surfaces were treated with 70% ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, quaternary ammonium compounds, or laundry soap (fabric only). Samples were collected at 0-30 min and cultured in triplicate on Mycosel medium at 30°C. Fungal viability was determined microscopically to assess the disinfection efficacy.
resultsBased on our results, 70% ethanol and bleach were the most effective disinfectants and recommended for use in both household and clinical settings. Bleaching displayed the highest efficacy, whereas 70% ethanol performed well. Other disinfectants demonstrated variable effectiveness depending on the exposure time and surface type.
conclusionThis study highlights the critical role of disinfection in mitigating the environmental transmission of sporotrichosis, thereby safeguarding both human and animal health.
