Qualitative Risk Assessment of Infectious Agents Associated with Canine Importation into Canada, 2023-2024.
Article in Emerging infectious diseases, 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
Dog importation into Canada has grown substantially since the early 2010s, and concerns have been raised regarding the potential introduction of infectious agents. We conducted a qualitative risk assessment of infectious agents associated with canine importation into Canada. We adapted international risk assessment methodologies coupled with an expert consultation. We estimated likelihood of entry, likelihood of canine exposure, and magnitude of impact of exposure to individual canines and the canine population for all hazards (n = 53). We also completed estimates for likelihood of human exposure and magnitude of impact of exposure on individual humans and the human population for zoonotic hazards (n = 33). Hazards were commonly ranked moderate or high for likelihood of entry and exposure estimates. Magnitude of impact of exposure estimates were assessed at much lower levels, indicating more restricted health impacts. Our study provides a foundation for future risk mitigation, including caregiver education, veterinary assessments, and importation regulations.
