Epidemiology of human and animal brucellosis in Kenya: A One Health meta-regression and network analysis.

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: Brucellosis is a prioritised zoonotic disease in Kenya, but an in-depth quantitative review of its presence in humans and animals is currently lacking. Methods: Systematic literature searches were performed in African Journals Online (AJOL), Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Relevant data were extracted from prevalence studies and random-effects meta-analyses were applied to estimate pooled prevalence by sample type and diagnostic methods for five key species. Between-study heterogeneity was explored using meta-regression models. A seroprevalence-weighted bipartite network analysis was used to link brucellosis research on various host species to livelihood zones in Kenya. Results: We found 65 brucellosis prevalence studies that increased with time, spanning 1969-2024 (55 years) and consisting of samples from 20,944 humans, 57,340 domestic animals, 727 wildlife from 16 species, and 235 Hippoboscid flies ( Conclusion: There is widespread brucellosis, especially in pastoral and agropastoral systems. Current published evidence has considerable geographic gaps and under-represents wildlife. The use of probability sampling approaches in future epidemiological studies, where possible, could ensure results are more representative of the population. A One Health approach integrating human, livestock, and wildlife populations is required in future studies for comprehensive risk assessment of brucellosis in Kenya. Lastly, continued resource allocation towards brucellosis prevention and control is required to lower disease presence.
