One Health-based Joint Epidemiological Investigation of a Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Case in the Republic of Korea, 2025.
Article in Public health weekly report, 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
Objectives: Following a healthcare-associated cluster of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a One Health-based joint epidemiological investigation integrating human, animal, and environmental components was conducted around the residence of the index patient to identify potential risk factors for infection and support the development of a standardized joint investigation framework. Methods: Epidemiological investigations and family interviews were conducted to assess the patient's activities during the incubation period, including farming activities and history of contact with animals. Ticks were collected using dry ice-baited traps and flagging methods and tested for SFTS virus (SFTSV). Samples collected from a companion dog, stray cats, and water deer were analyzed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay. Results: No SFTSV antigens or antibodies were detected in animal samples, suggesting that the case was unlikely to have resulted from animal-to-human transmission. A total of 341 Conclusions: This investigation demonstrated the field applicability of a One Health-based joint epidemiological investigation integrating human, animal, and environmental surveillance. The findings highlighted the need for a multisectoral collaborative system and a standardized joint epidemiological investigation framework to strengthen future responses to zoonotic disease responses.
