Risk assessment of cholera outbreaks in Eastern Visayas, Philippines, 2024.

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
Objective: This study presents the findings of a joint cholera risk assessment conducted in Eastern Visayas, the region in the Philippines with the highest incidence of the disease in 2022-2023. The study aimed to identify key risk factors, review progress since a 2016 assessment, and highlight persistent gaps in prevention, preparedness and response. Methods: In July 2024, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and the Philippine Department of Health conducted a joint assessment using a standardized checklist for focus group discussions and interviews across four technical areas: partnership and coordination; epidemiology and surveillance; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); and risk communication and community engagement. Epidemiological trends between 2022 and 2024 were analysed, and water samples from wells and refilling stations were tested for Results: From 2022 to 2024, 12 284 cholera cases were reported in Eastern Visayas (case fatality rate: 0.5%). Testing showed 100% contamination in Level I and II sources, while 33% of Level III samples tested positive for total coliforms despite no Discussion: This assessment identified both progress and persistent challenges across the four technical areas. Key limitations were found in the qualitative design and the limited geographical coverage. Conclusions focused on prioritizing the strengthening of national cholera strategies by embedding them within the broader Food and Waterborne Diseases Prevention and Control Program alongside local ownership and equity-focused WASH investments.
