Interdisciplinary and Participatory Research for the Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases in the Amazon: A Narrative Review.

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
This narrative review examines how interdisciplinary and participatory research has advanced the understanding and control of socially determined diseases in the Brazilian Amazon. The integration of social sciences into the Tropical Medicine Foundation Dr. Heitor Vieira Dourado marks a shift from purely biomedical approaches toward those recognizing the cultural, environmental and territorial dimensions of health. Qualitative studies on snakebite envenoming among Indigenous populations revealed that treatment integrates biomedical and spiritual practices, highlighting the need for intercultural dialogue. In malaria elimination, research emphasized evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of new tools such as point-of-care G6PD testing and single-dose tafenoquine, demonstrating that understanding perceptions of innovations is indispensable for effective implementation. Studies on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and trachoma among Indigenous and urban populations illustrated how stigma, gender relations and structural inequalities shape health outcomes. Extreme climate events, such as the 2023 Amazon drought, exacerbate vulnerabilities by disrupting livelihoods and healthcare access. The article concludes by proposing an interdisciplinary research agenda aligned with Brazil's Healthy Brazil Program, emphasizing community engagement, intersectional analysis, One Health integration and implementation science as key strategies for equitable disease elimination in the Amazon.
