Spatial heterogeneity of Rift Valley fever burden in Kenya: a 10-year One Health zDALY evaluation.
Article in Science in One Health, 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
Background: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an endemic zoonotic disease in Kenya, with recurring outbreaks that affect both humans and livestock. Despite its impact, the full burden of RVF remains poorly quantified. This study presents the first integrated and spatially disaggregated estimates of RVF burden in Kenya using a One Health approach. Methods: We quantified the national and subnational burden of RVF in Kenya from 2014 to 2024 using the zoonotic disability-adjusted life years (zDALYs) framework, which combines human health loss (disability-adjusted life years [DALYs]) and livestock-related losses (measured as animal loss equivalents [ALE]). Estimates were based on reported RVF cases, livestock mortality, abortions, and treatment costs. Monte Carlo simulations were used to generate 95% uncertainty intervals ( Results: The burden of RVF (zDALY per 1000 persons) varied across the counties, with the highest burden observed in northern Kenya. The highest burden was recorded in Marsabit (24.67, 95% Conclusion: This study quantitatively demonstrates the substantial burden of RVF in Kenya across human and livestock populations. The findings can guide targeted risk assessments, preparedness planning, and cost-effective One Health strategies for future RVF outbreaks.
