1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Visceral leishmaniasis (also known as kala-azar) continues to be a major public health challenge in endemic regions. While vector control and clinical management have gained considerable attention, environmental determinants of transmission are often not prioritized in elimination strategies. In this article, we highlight gaps in surveillance that overlook environmental risks and propose their integration into routine elimination activities. At the same time, we also propose strengthening community-based monitoring, systematic environmental assessments, and harmonized data collection as tools to support existing approaches. These interventions are envisaged from a One Health perspective, underscoring the interconnected roles of human, animal, and environmental health. By integrating environmental measures with established epidemiological and clinical strategies, we propose a comprehensive approach to support the sustainability of kala-azar elimination efforts. The contribution of this perspective lies in emphasizing environmental surveillance as an essential pillar of elimination programs rather than a peripheral activity.
