Genomic diversity and transmission patterns of Yersinia pestis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. 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
According to WHO, plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, has resurged since 2000. Inner Mongolia, harboring a quarter of China's plague foci, has accounted for 80% of national plague cases in the past five years. Despite its pivotal role in Chinese plague epidemiology, the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of Y. pestis in this region remain under-investigated. Our analysis of 585 Y. pestis strains from Inner Mongolia (1948-2021) revealed three primary lineages, with 2.MED3 being predominant. We further delineated seven sub-phylogroups in 2.MED3, with 2.MED3.1.2 and 2.MED3.1.4 showing recent dominance. These two subgroups reveal dual transmission patterns: localized short-distance spread and long-distance dispersals over 300 km. Xilingol League is highlighted as a key source and reservoir for Y. pestis, predominantly spreading from central-eastern to southwestern Inner Mongolia, including occasional reverse transmissions. These findings enhance understanding of Y. pestis diversity and transmission in Inner Mongolia, aiding in enhanced surveillance and control measures.
