The tree shrew as a model for infectious diseases research.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Despite major advances in medicine, infectious diseases still pose a significant threat to humanity. Mammalian models of disease have proved extremely useful in adding to the understanding of infectious diseases and the development of prophylactic and/or therapeutic interventions. Arguably the most important considerations of any animal model are (I) the similarity of the model to humans with respect to anatomy, physiology, immunology and disease progression, and (II) the expense of conducting experiments using the model organism. Often the choice of a model represents a compromise between these factors. Here we review the Northern Tree shrew (
