Defining One Health: Environment versus ecosystem.
Article in CABI one 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
Background: This article seeks greater precision in defining One Health by clarifying ambiguities and elaborating issues that arise from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) definition, while acknowledging the utility of the OHHLEP definition and the consensus it represents. In particular, we clarify certain implications of how the third, environmental component of One Health is understood. Methods: We developed our argument by taking part in the interdisciplinary Science Advice for Policy by European Academies (SAPEA) consortium for One Health Governance in the European Union. We are a highly interdisciplinary team that has developed this theoretical position by meeting throughout 2024 to write the report chapter on which it is based. Results: We suggest that whereas an "environment" implies something external (and perhaps subordinate) to humans and animals, an "ecosystem" implies a system of which both humans and animals are part (alongside plants, chemicals, microbes, etc.). We explore three sets of concepts within the OHHLEP definition: "integrated" and "unifying"; "balanced" and "optimised"; "closely linked"; and "interdependent." Lastly, we explain our synergies and complementarity with adjacent concepts including "Planetary Health". Conclusions: To us, clarity in these nuances seems key in the development of One Health away from an anthropocentric framing towards a more integrated and balanced framing. While we argue that the ecosystemic, holistic view is preferable and better aligned with One Health's expanding scope, we note that conditions for making practical changes are not yet able to accommodate holism.
