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

India has confirmed 9 monkey pox (MPXV) cases by the time this editorial is being written. The size of the outbreak clusters is growing each day, as is the geographical spread across international borders. More interestingly it is being recognized as a potent sexually transmitted infection (STI) as it is attributed to close contact with lesions, with no intention of stigmatizing it. This zoonotic virus has a low level of endemicity since decades in west and central Africa, its place of origin. Now since it has spread to 75 countries and more joining, with over 25,539 plus cases, WHO declared it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on July 23, 2022.
