A socio-hydro-epidemiological model for simulating trade-off between dengue infections, water shortages, and adaptive behavior.
Article in iScience, 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
Dengue and drought severity are rising worldwide, with drought responses shaping mosquito breeding conditions in cities. Current modeling approaches do not couple household water-use behavior, climate extremes, and vector-borne disease transmission. Here, we developed a system dynamics model that links dengue transmission, human-water interactions, multiple adaptation strategies, and social behavior in a synthetic city. We compared three adaptation pathways: dengue-focused, drought-focused, and co-adaptation guided by social awareness. Results show that adaptation choices strongly affect awareness, water shortages, mosquito abundance, and human infections. Drought-focused adaptation reduces average water shortages, but prolonged standing water in rainwater tanks increases mosquito growth and dengue transmission. Co-adaptation retains drought buffering while limiting favorable habitat for vector growth. Changes in drought-awareness decay can influence dengue outbreaks more strongly than changes in dengue-awareness decay. These results highlight the value of coordinated drought and dengue management for reducing health risks while maintaining water security under climate change.
