Epidemiological investigation of a cholera outbreak in Nepal-India border communities: Public health implications.
Article in IJID regions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: On October 4, 2021, a cholera outbreak was reported in Kapilvastu District, one of Nepal's 26 districts bordering India. This study examined the outbreak's characteristics, response efforts, and the challenges faced. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied for the outbreak investigation. Data were gathered through a review of cases registered in three local health facilities and community-based active case searching. A descriptive analysis was performed on the collected data. Results: Between October 4 and December 2, 2021, 1570 cases were reported across 10 municipalities in Kapilvastu, with 88.6% of cases occurring in communities bordering India. Most affected were female patients (55%) and children aged 5-14 years (32%). A total of 39% cases were confirmed to have the Conclusions: Communities along the Nepal-India border are highly vulnerable to cholera outbreaks, highlighting the urgent need for improved water, sanitation, and hygiene practices. A coordinated approach to cholera surveillance and preparedness is crucial to prevent future outbreaks.
