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

The human version of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) is establishing itself to various degrees across the globe. While substantial attention has been focused on sexual risk, particularly among men who have sex with men, other populations are vulnerable to this virus. In particular, people experiencing homelessness and those with substance use disorders are vulnerable to MPXV. Overcrowded and unsanitary shelter conditions and city policies that force the relocation of people experiencing homelessness provide ample opportunity for the virus to flourish in this population. Furthermore, people with substance use disorders, specifically those who inject drugs, are at increased risk due to lack of access to sterile injection equipment. Herein, we present a spectrum of structural determinants underpinning increased risks in these populations and recommendations that could help mitigate the spread.
