Priorities and opportunities for strengthening hygiene and One Health alignment in research, policy and practice.
Review in BMC global and public 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
Hygiene plays a critical yet under-recognized role in addressing One Health (OH) challenges, including zoonotic disease prevention, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) control, food safety and protection of ecosystem health. Likewise, hygiene research and interventionsgenerally lack an OH perspective, resulting in siloed efforts that inadequately address the human-animal-environment interface. We convened three sessions at global conferences well attended by health professionals working in hygiene or OH. Participants identified gaps and opportunities for hygiene-OH alignment across research, policy and practice at community, national, regional and global levels. An evidence gap identified was research on hygiene approaches to protect ecosystems in programs otherwise focused upon human or animal health. Methodological priorities included harmonizing tools and protocols for pathogen detection, fecal contamination measurement and hygiene behavior assessment; strengthening cross-sectoral data sharing; and developing integrated study designs. Intervention opportunities included engaging local stakeholders, balancing infrastructure and behavior change, adapting existing programs for cross-sectoral relevance and broadening evaluation to include animal and environmental outcomes. Implementation priorities included localized program design and decision-making, regional cooperation for cross-border threats and leveraging surveillance and preparedness infrastructure. Policy priorities included reducing institutional fragmentation, harmonizing standards, and strengthening the roles of hygiene and OH within existing regulatory frameworks. From our synthesis, we present cross-cutting recommendations for strengthening hygiene and OH alignment. Aligning hygiene and OH offers a pathway to more comprehensive and upstream prevention of disease and AMR, supporting coordinated, system-level management of health risks across human, animal and environmental domains and building resilience to emerging health threats.
