The presumed receptivity and susceptibility to monkeypox of European animal species.
Article in Infectious diseases now, 2022. 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
The Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvius genus, as does the specifically human smallpox virus. It is zoonotic and had never previously been considered as capable of human-to-human transmission over more than nine viral generation cycles. While relevant animal reservoirs have yet to be identified, non-human primates (NHP) are only accidental hosts. The potentially high number of current human shedders during the clinical phase (3 weeks maximum) raises the question of a risk in our countries of animals being contaminated by infected humans (reverse zoonosis). Cats as well as cows are susceptible to the Cowpox virus, another zoonotic Orthopoxvirus, which they transmit to humans. Dogs are much less susceptible to this virus and seem only receptive to Vaccinia virus (also belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus). On the other hand, one study has demonstrated the pronounced susceptibility of the adult albino rabbit and of young animals of several rodent species to Monkeypox virus (MPXV). Given the susceptibility to MPXV of prairie dogs, which are American Sciuridae, the potential for infection of European squirrels cannot be ruled out.
