Beyond the triad: why ecological theory must anchor One Health.
Article in One health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 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
One Health has been highly effective at emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. However, One Health must more explicitly incorporate ecological theory to move beyond documenting pathogen presence or co-location toward understanding the mechanisms that lead to infection and transmission. Here, we argue that ecological theory provides the missing mechanistic layer between pathogen detection and prevention, and we identify four practical areas where this matters: landscape connectivity and contact networks, biodiversity and microbiomes, ecological interpretation of environmental sampling, and long-term ecological capacity. Together, these areas can help identify which human-animal-environment connections matter most for disease dynamics and where prevention efforts can most effectively interrupt transmission. Therefore, ecological theory can move One Health from documenting connections toward identifying mechanisms, directing prevention, supporting wildlife conservation, and promoting human well-being.
