Phylogenetic analyses of the spread of Clade I MPOX in African and non-African nations.
Article in Virus genes, 2025. 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
Recently, mpox has spread in some parts of Africa, such as Congo (DRC), Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya, worsening the situation in DRC and Burundi compared to the other parts of Africa due to the spread of the Clade Ib, with several confirmed and lethal cases. The study aims to analyze the broader molecular phylogenetics using greater complete genome sequences and molecular phylogenetics of Clade I (Clade Ia and Clade Ib), nucleotide diversity of the genome of Clade I, NGA/TCN context of G- > A/C- > T mutations, and epidemiology of the recent spread of mpox in the African countries. Overall molecular phylogenetics of mpox inform the divergence was noted between 0.00220 and 0.00265 and found Clade IIb has further subdivided into 37 sublineages. From our phylogenetic analysis and the tracking of recent mpox variants, we report the spread of Clade I (Clade Ib) of mpox, a virulent mpox, in the African continent, Thailand, Sweden, and USA. Furthermore, two Clades, Clade Ia and Clade Ib, have originated from Clade I. Recently, Clade Ib has expanded its region within African continent. We reported the mutation pattern in the genome. Epidemiological analysis indicates the most affected country is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This work shows that mpox is steadily adapting as geographic area increases and can help the health authorities develop policies such as vaccinations, and travel restrictions to contain the spread of mpox.
