Impact of contact rate on epidemic spreading in complex networks.
Article in The European physical journal. B, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Abstract: Contact reduction is an effective strategy to mitigate the spreading of epidemic. However, the existing reaction-diffusion equations for infectious disease are unable to characterize this effect. Thus, we here propose an extended susceptible-infected-recovered model by incorporating contact rate into the standard SIR model, and concentrate on investigating its impact on epidemic transmission. We analytically derive the epidemic thresholds on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks, respectively. The effects of contact rate on spreading speed, scale and outbreak threshold are explored on ER and SF networks. Simulations results show that epidemic dissemination is significantly mitigated when contact rate is reduced. Importantly, epidemic spreads faster on heterogeneous networks while broader on homogeneous networks, and the outbreak thresholds of the former are smaller. Graphical abstract:
