1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease, responsible for approximately 59,000 human deaths annually; the majority occur in developing regions of Asia and Africa. This review explores worldwide efforts to prevent and control rabies during 2016-2025, using the evolving themes of World Rabies Day (WRD) as a framework. The research objective is to assess epidemiological trends, intervention strategies, challenges, and innovations related to the World Health Organization's target of zero human rabies deaths by 2030. The findings highlight a significant reduction in global rabies occurrence, with mass vaccination campaigns for dogs achieving 70% coverage in Guinea and a 95% decrease in human cases in Latin America. However, gaps in surveillance, vaccine shortages, and poor public education persist. Low-cost intradermal prophylaxis, monoclonal antibodies, and AI-driven surveillance systems are promising approaches but remain constrained by socioeconomic inequalities and insufficient investment. Achieving "Zero by 30" requires stronger collaboration, equitable resource distribution, and sustained community mobilization.
