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

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic encephalitis that is responsible for approximately 59,000 deaths worldwide every year. A significant portion of these deaths, about one-third, occur in India alone. In order to meet the World Health Organization's objective of eliminating dog-mediated rabies by 2030, India has made considerable progress in this regard. However, implementing the current strategies of canine immunization, sterilization, and providing post-exposure prophylaxis to exposed individuals is challenging in a large and diverse country like India. This article aims to highlight the limitations of relying solely on post-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of human rabies. Moreover, it presents the necessity and rationale for including pre-exposure immunization in India's national immunization schedule.
