1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In this paper we consider Susceptible [Formula: see text] Infectious [Formula: see text] Recovered (SIR) epidemics on random graphs with clustering. To incorporate group structure of the underlying social network, we use a generalized version of the configuration model in which each node is a member of a specified number of triangles. SIR epidemics on this type of graph have earlier been investigated under the assumption of homogeneous infectivity and also under the assumption of Poisson transmission and recovery rates. We extend known results from literature by relaxing the assumption of homogeneous infectivity both in individual infectivity and between different kinds of neighbours. An important special case of the epidemic model analysed in this paper is epidemics in continuous time with arbitrary infectious period distribution. We use branching process approximations of the spread of the disease to provide expressions for the basic reproduction number [Formula: see text], the probability of a major outbreak and the expected final size. In addition, the impact of random vaccination with a perfect vaccine on the final outcome of the epidemic is investigated. We find that, for this particular model, [Formula: see text] equals the perfect vaccine-associated reproduction number. Generalizations to groups larger than three are discussed briefly.
