How can imported monkeypox break the borders? A rapid systematic review.
Synthesis in Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundMonkeypox was designated as an emerging illness in 2018 by the World Health Organization Research and Development Blueprint, necessitating expedited research, development, and public health action. In this review, we aim to shed the light on the imported cases of monkeypox in attempt to prevent the further spread of the disease. Methodology An electronic search in the relevant database (Web of Science, PubMed Medline, PubMed Central, Google scholar, and Embase) was conducted to identify eligible articles. In addition to searching the grey literature, manual searching was carried out using the reference chain approach.
resultsA total of 1886 articles were retrieved using the search strategy with 21 studies included in the systematic review. A total of 113 cases of imported monkeypox were confirmed worldwide. Nineteen patients mentioned a travel history from Nigeria, thirty-eight infected cases had travel destinations from Europe, fifty-four cases traveled from European countries such as; Spain, France, and the Netherlands, one case from Portugal, and another one from the United Kingdom (UK). All reported clades of the virus were West African clade. Nine studies showed the source of infection was sexual contact, especially with male partners. Six studies mentioned the cause of infection was contact with an individual with monkeypox symptoms. Two studies considered cases due to acquired nosocomial infection. Ingestion of barbecued bushmeat was the source of infection in three studies and rodent carcasses were the source of infection in the other two studies.
conclusionThe development of functioning surveillance systems and point-of-entry screening is essential for worldwide health security. This necessitates ongoing training of front-line health professionals to ensure that imported monkeypox is properly diagnosed and managed. In addition, implementing effective health communication about monkeypox prevention and control is mandatory to help individuals to make informed decisions to protect their own and their communities' health.
