Age-Structured SIR Model for the Spread of Infectious Diseases Through Indirect Contacts.
Article in Mediterranean journal of mathematics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this article, we discuss an age-structured SIR model in which disease spread not only through direct person-to-person contacts, but also spread through indirect contacts. It is evident that age also plays a crucial role in SARS virus infection including COVID-19 infection. We formulate our model as an abstract semilinear Cauchy problem in an appropriate Banach space to show the existence of solution and also show the existence of steady states. In this study, it is assumed that the population is in a demographic stationary state and we show that there is no disease-free equilibrium point as long as there is a transmission of infection due to the indirect contacts in the environment. We also solved our model numerically to study the effect of indirect contacts on the density of infected individuals.
