Applying One Health Bioethical Principles to Climate Change: The Planetary Patient Paradigm.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundClimate change represents a contemporary challenge for global health, requiring frameworks that extend beyond traditional anthropocentric approaches. The One Health paradigm offers a comprehensive framework for addressing these interconnected challenges, yet practical, case-based guidance through bioethical applications remains underexplored.
objectiveTo develop and apply a novel analytical framework based on One Health frameworks and bioethical principles for addressing climate change challenges, introducing the ethical metaphor of Earth as a "Planetary Patient" requiring ethical care and treatment.
methodsWe employed a conceptual analysis approach, integrating classical bioethical principles within One Health frameworks. The methodology involved a structured narrative review, principle mapping, case study application, and iterative framework refinement to develop a comprehensive analytical tool for climate health issues.
resultsThe theoretical Planetary Patient paradigm provides a structured dimensional approach for evaluating climate interventions: (1) autonomy and self-determination of communities, (2) beneficence and non-maleficence across domains, and (3) justice risk distribution and concepts of intergenerational responsibility. Case study applications demonstrate practical utility across diverse scenarios, including coastal relocation, urban heat mitigation, and agricultural adaptation.
conclusionsThis framework demonstrates how One Health and bioethical principles can be cohesively integrated and systematically applied to the challenges of climate change, offering a practical tool for ethical decision-making in climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. Implementation requires interdisciplinary collaboration and institutional reform but provides significant advantages for comprehensive climate action.
