The Forgotten Knowledge: Pandemics in Islamic Manuscripts.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
COVID-19 is far from the first pandemic in history. Classical manuscripts show that plague and pestilence have long troubled humanity which have had significant religious, social, and medical ramifications. However, these manuscripts have been neglected rather than being taken into consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic response. This article explores Islamic views regarding pandemics, the human factors that contributed to past pandemics, and the recommended mitigation and treatment approaches. Taking three manuscripts-Bażl al mā'un fī faşl aț țā'un, by Ibn Hajr Al Asqolani; Mā Rawāhu al Mā'ūn fī akhbari aț țā'un, by Jalaluddin asy Syuyuty; and Risāah al mughniyah fī sukūti wa luzūmi l buyūt, by Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn Abdullah al Baghdady-as its corpus, this study analyzes classical texts to understand the historical records and representations of pandemics. Critical analysis, supported by several concepts and theories, is used to connect the texts to the relevant contexts, thereby providing a foundation for using classical manuscripts as sources of knowledge and understanding during times of a pandemic.
