Challenges, barriers and opportunities for neglected tropical disease programs of conflict-affected African countries.
Article in International health, 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
backgroundInsecurity and conflict threaten achievement of global neglected tropical disease (NTD) targets. Identifying conflict-associated challenges and mitigation strategies can inform NTD programmatic decision-making.
methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to explore their experiences of implementing NTD programs in conflict-affected regions in sub-Saharan Africa. Study 1 included a variety of stakeholders in Nigeria and study 2 included the NTD program managers from multiple countries. Thematic analysis was used to identify and extract key themes.
resultsFourteen participants (seven participants per study) from six countries and several NTD programs reported an array of complex challenges that were categorised into three common program-specific activity themes (implementation, community engagement, sustainability) and five common external influencing themes (access to areas; water, sanitation and hygiene; inclusivity; stakeholder partnering; financial resources). Study 1 included a unique theme for solutions. Several common subthemes (surveillance, community education, displaced populations, access for women) and unique study 1 subthemes were reported.
conclusionsMany complex interacting factors hinder NTD programs in conflict-affected NTD-endemic areas. The scale and breadth of the common and unique challenges and potential solutions require more investigation to enable the development of a practical framework to support programs in achieving the global NTD goals of 2030.
