Global dispersal of Burkholderia pseudomallei and the evolving endemicity of melioidosis in the United States of America.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 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
Melioidosis is a clinical disease in humans and animals following infection with the soil and water bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. The global footprint of melioidosis has been rapidly expanding, but it remains unclear how much this represents unmasking of longstanding but previously unrecognised presence of B. pseudomallei and how much is from recent dispersal of B. pseudomallei. What is now clear is that the predicted establishment of B. pseudomallei in the southern United States has eventuated, with melioidosis endemic in Mississippi and likely to be endemic in Georgia and Texas. It is now time to move beyond concern of B. pseudomallei as a biothreat agent and to pivot towards addressing the gaps in public health responses to the enigmatic disease that it causes.
