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

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus transmitted primarily by the bite of infected Aedes species mosquitoes. Although typically asymptomatic or causing mild symptoms and infrequent neurological disease in older children and adults, infection during pregnancy can result in severe congenital malformations and neurodevelopmental deficits. We conducted a review of published literature and official data sources to describe recent Zika epidemiological trends, building on WHO updates posted in 2019 and 2022. Globally, cases declined after the height of ZIKV transmission in the Americas in 2015-2016; however, transmission continues across multiple regions, with intermittent outbreaks reported. As of December 2023, there is documented evidence of current or prior autochthonous mosquito-borne ZIKV transmission in 92 countries and territories; most recently, Guinea, Mali, and Sri Lanka were included on the basis of recent or retrospective testing of specimens collected during surveillance activities or studies. The abundance of asymptomatic and mild infections and limited diagnostic testing suggest that transmission in many locations likely remains underrecognized. Public health authorities, clinicians, communities at risk, and travelers should remain alert to the possibility of ZIKV transmission and implement measures to limit the risk of infection with ZIKV and other Aedes-borne arboviruses. To strengthen surveillance for ZIKV infections and congenital disease, targeted surveillance using clear case definitions and epidemiologically appropriate laboratory testing algorithms should be applied.
