[Postexposure prophylaxis after bite of a broad-winged bat with evidence of European bat lyssavirus 1 (EBLV-1)].

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
Germany has been considered free of terrestrial rabies since 2008 as a result of intensive vaccination and surveillance efforts but reservoirs of the lyssaviruses EBLV‑1 and EBLV‑2 persist in bat colonies and thus pose a potential risk of infection. We report on a patient who suffered a bat bite in an urban setting in which European bat lyssavirus 1 (EBLV-1) was detected in the euthanized bat. We performed active and passive postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). This case study illustrates the ongoing risk of rabies infection due to close bat contacts in Germany and is intended to sensitize primary care physicians to take such exposure events seriously and to perform a regular PEP including administration of rabies immunoglobulin.
